Precompiled software, built on demand.
Do you need ruby-2.3.0 for debian-8, to be installed into /usr/local? No problem:
$ curl -GL buildcurl.com \
-d recipe=ruby \
-d version=2.3.0 \
-d target=debian:8 \
-d prefix=/usr/local \
-o - | tar xzf - -C /usr/local/
$ /usr/local/bin/ruby -v
ruby 2.3.0p0 (2015-12-25 revision 53290) [x86_64-linux]
Perfect for Docker containers, or embedding binaries into packages, etc. It will take some time if this is the first time a binary is built, but then it will be cached.
See USAGE.md for more details.
From scratch, on a bare server (this also sets up init scripts, etc.):
export NEWRELIC_KEY=optional AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=key AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=secret AWS_REGION=region AWS_BUCKET=bucket
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crohr/buildcurl/master/install.sh | bash
Or, assuming you already have docker installed and just want to test buildcurl:
docker run -d --name buildcurl -p 80:80 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
-e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=key \
-e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=secret \
-e AWS_REGION=us-east-1 \
-e AWS_BUCKET=cache.example.com \
-e BUILDCURL_URL=http://example.com:80 \
