installing rvm: setting environment for role

Archives Ansible Project

hello group,

In order to install rvm for a user, I have tried the rvm1-ansible role.
My playbook looks like this:

roles:

  • machine
  • role: rvm_io.rvm1-ruby
    sudo: True
    rvm1_user: ‘fuser’
    rvm1_rvm_version: ‘stable’
    rvm1_rvm_check_for_updates: false
    rvm1_gpg_keys: ‘’
    rvm1_rubies:
  • ‘ruby-1.9.3’
    rvm1_install_flags: ‘–auto-dotfiles --user-install’
    rvm1_install_path: ‘/home/fuser/.rvm’

The problem with this is that the brand new user ‘fuser’ has no proper proxy settings. The remote user uses it’s sudo capabilities to login as user fuser, but the environment somehow gets lost.

I have tried setting the proxy using environment: on the role level with
environment:
http_proxy: http://172.22.73.16:8080
https_proxy: https://172.22.73.16:80

but they are simply not used: the install still fails with

failed: [172.22.25.227] => {“changed”: true, “cmd”: [“/tmp/rvm-installer.sh”, “stable”, “–path”, “/home/fuser/.rvm”, “–auto-dotfiles”, “–user-install”], “delta”: “0:00:05.098454”, “end”: “2015-10-20 15:27:01.115946”, “rc”: 35, “start”: “2015-10-20 15:26:56.017492”}

Does anyone have an idea how I can work around this? Can I specify the https-proxy somewhere in the playbooks, or can I put those settings in a startup file that gets used when logging in as fuser? Do I have to tweak the sudo configuration somehow?

thanks in advance, Ruud

I have solved it by writing first a .curlrc file to the users home directory.
But still I am curious how to solve it using the ansible modules itself.

Ideas?
