[chef] Re: rvm with chef[-solo] system/user-wide for multiple applications

I've tried, and even made it work, but it was *painful*. This was in the days before the Omnibus installer, though, so maybe it's better. IMO though, you're better off just installing them in /opt/ and referencing them directly.

Hi list,

I've given up on Chef+rvm for now. It seems to be a little bit more involved than I expected. I ended up using this recipe to install Ruby 1.9.2 from source: https://github.com/carlo/chef-ruby1.9, luckily all my apps are 1.9-based anyway.

However, I was wondering if anyone out there managed to successfully use rvm to install ruby system-wide or user-wise. I'd also like to know if there's anyone using it to have multiple ruby apps using different rubies by using the .rvmrc. 

Any insights appreciated,

- Marcelo.
