bundler-push-host-key

bundle-push-host-key

This gem adds support for multiple keys when pushing gems using the bundler rake tasks

Usage

• In the Rakefile, replace require 'bundler/gem_tasks' with require 'bundler/gem_tasks/push_host_key'

• In .gem/credentials add a new credential with your gemserver's hostname (only the hostname!) as key:

  ---
  # Official rubygems API key entry 
  :rubygems_api_key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
  
  # Your custom API key for gemserver.example.net
  :gemserver.example.net: <API Key>
  
  # Basic Authentication instead of API key 
  :gemserver.example.net: "Basic dXNlcjpwYXNzCg=="
  

• In your gemspecs, set the allowed_push_host:

  Gem::Specification.new do |gem|
    # ...
    gem.metadata = {
      'allowed_push_host' => 'https://gemserver.example.com',
    }
    # ...
  end
  

Notes

This gem uses the --key feature of the gem command. When pushing with the gem command directly, you can specify --key gemserver.example.net

Afaik, the gem command has no official way to authenticate when loading gems. In Bundler you can set the basic auth credentials with this command: bundle config gemserver.example.net user:pass

If there is a better, official way to have multiple private gemserver with individual credentials and not only push-authentication, I will happily drop this gem.
