Ansible Role rbenv

This is a basic Ansible role to install and enable rbenv on Ubuntu. It should also work on macOS. It performs the following tasks:

• Install rbenv.
• Add rbenv to path.
• (Optionally) install ruby-build as an rbenv plugin.

Variables

Variable name	Default value	Description
rbenv_users	[]	An array of users who need rbenv installed. Each item should include user and group.
rbenv_users_home_path_prefix	/home	Path (from /) to the parent directory containing users on the system (should be identical to $HOME, and should not include a trailing slash). Default value works on macOS.
use_rbenv_extension	True	Whether or not "to compile dynamic bash extension to speed up rbenv."
rbenv_profile_file	.bashrc	Name of profile file to use when adding rbenv to path (e.g. .bash_profile, .bashrc, .zshrc etc).
rbenv_export_line	'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"'	The line to add to the profile file above to add rbenv to path.
install_ruby_build	True	Whether or not to install ruby-build as an rbenv plugin.

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: servers
  roles:
    - ansible-role-rbenv
  vars:
    rbenv_users_home_path_prefix: "/home"
    rbenv_users:
      - {
        user: "ctorgalson",
        group: "ctorgalson"
      }
    rbenv_profile_file: ".zshrc"
