Help – Running my own gem server
Sarah will give a Ruby introduction class for kids at RubyConf. However, there won’t be any Internet connection available, but the participants will need to install several gems.
A solution to this problem is the gem geminabox which allows you to run a server providing gems. Other users who have geminabox installed then are able to install gems from that server.
People don’t need geminabox installed to install gems from a geminabox server; it’s only needed for pushing gems to one. Geminabox acts as a RubyGems-compliant server, so simply adding it to the gem sources works.
My Gemfiles begin with:
source :rubygems
source “http://mylocalserver:8888″

You can also install https://github.com/qrush/gemcutter, which is the open-source app which powers rubygems.org
