Really simple rubygem hosting

Gem in a box is a simple sinatra app to allow you to host your own in-house gems.

It has no security, or authentication so you should handle this yourself.

Server Setup

gem install strangebox

Create a config.ru as follows:

require "rubygems"
require "strangebox"

Strangebox.data = "~/dev" # ... your Gem-folder

#	If you need authentication:
#	use Rack::Auth::Basic, "StrangeBox" do |username, password|
#		[username, password] == ['your_name', 'your_password']
#	end

run Strangebox

And finally, hook up the config.ru.

e.g.:  $ rackup

Client Usage

$ gem install strangebox

$ gem build secretgem.gemspec

$ gem sbox ./secretgem-0.0.1.gem

$ gem sources -a http://localhost:9292/   ... your Host

$ gem sources -a http://your_name:your_password@localhost:9292/   ... your Host with username & password

Simples!
