gemgate

gemgate receives built gems and makes them available via S3.

Example use:

$ gem build foobar.gemspec #=> produces foobar-0.0.1.gem
$ curl -F [email protected] -u foo:bar https://gemgate.herokuapp.com/
$ gem sources -a https://gemgate.s3.amazonaws.com/deadbeef/
$ gem install foobar -v 0.0.1

Running locally

$ cp .env.sample .env
# edit .env
$ foreman start
$ curl -F [email protected] -u $GEMGATE_AUTH http://localhost:5000/
$ gem sources -a https://gemgate-development.s3.amazonaws.com/$S3_KEY_PREFIX
$ gem install foobar -v 0.0.1

Deployment on Heroku

$ heroku create gemgate-production -s cedar
$ heroku config:add -a gemgate-production \
  AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=... \
  AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=... \
  GEMGATE_AUTH=foo:bar \
  S3_BUCKET=... \
  S3_KEY_PREFIX=...
$ git push heroku master

Configuration

GEMGATE_AUTH: User and password to require for basic auth, joined by :
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: The AWS access key to use when communicating with S3
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: The AWS secret access key to use when communicating with S3
S3_BUCKET: Name of the S3 bucket to use
S3_KEY_PREFIX: Probably random string (eg created with openssl rand -hex 32) to prefix file/directory keys with. Mainly for security.

It's recommended you use IAM credentials with bucket-specific access for S3.
