Stickler is a tool to organize and maintain an internal gem repository. Primarily, you would want to use Stickler if:

1. You have proprietary gems that you want to have available via a gem server so you may gem install them.
2. You would like to have a local mirror of third party gems from either http://rubygems.org or some other gem server.
3. You want both (1) and (2) in the same server.

Installing stickler may be done via the standard gem installation

gem install stickler

Or downloaded from http://github.com/copiousfreetime/stickler/downloads

Stickler is broken up into a few commandline programs.

• stickler - Used to mainpulate gems that are in a stickler-server.
• stickler-server - The server process that manages gems.
• stickler-passenger-config - A helper process to generate Passenger configurations for

The easiest way to get up and running with stickler is to run the standalone server stickler-server and then use stickler to interact with it.

% mkdir -p /tmp/stickler-test
% stickler-server start --daemonize /tmp/stickler-test

% stickler config --add --server http://localhost:6789 --upstream https://rubygems.org
