Migrate Ruby containers into distgen generation. Inspired by posgresql-container and s2i-python-container.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added standardized Ruby S2I builder images for Ruby 2.5, 3.0, 3.3, and 4.0 across supported RHEL, CentOS Stream, and Fedora environments.
    • Added Puma-based application startup with configurable workers, threads, memory limits, and environment settings.
    • Added improved Bundler, asset compilation, gem mirror, and npm mirror support.
    • Added Rack, Puma, and FIPS test applications.
  • Documentation

    • Updated image references, OpenShift guidance, Dockerfile examples, supported platforms, and environment-variable documentation.
    • Added guidance for building and running applications from Dockerfiles.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request introduces multispec-based generation for Ruby S2I images. It adds shared templates, runtime scripts, documentation, container definitions, application fixtures, and FIPS test coverage for Ruby 2.5 through 4.0.

Changes

Ruby S2I image generation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Generation configuration and Dockerfile template
specs/multispec.yml, manifest.yml, src/Dockerfile.template
The multispec matrix defines Ruby versions and supported distributions. Manifest rules generate Dockerfiles and supporting files. The Dockerfile template handles metadata, package selection, validation, permissions, and non-root execution.
Runtime scripts, configuration, and source documentation
src/s2i/*, src/root/*, src/README.md, src/examples/*, src/test/*
The S2I scripts install dependencies, compile assets, configure mirrors, select Puma or Rack startup, and print usage instructions. Documentation covers OpenShift, Dockerfile builds, environment variables, hot deployment, and performance settings.
Generated Dockerfiles and version documentation
2.5/*, 3.0/*, 3.3/*, 4.0/*
Generated images use qualified registry references, fixed Ruby metadata, updated package commands, and the configured distro matrix. README files and example Dockerfiles use the generated image references. Obsolete Dockerfiles and shared test references are removed.
Application and FIPS test fixtures
test/*, 2.5/test/*, 3.0/test/*, 3.3/test/*, 4.0/test/*
Sinatra and Rack fixtures are added for Puma and Rack startup tests. The FIPS fixture exposes AES, 3DES, SHA-256, and MD5 endpoints with FIPS-specific status handling. Example links and test entry points are regenerated or removed.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 697ce

The documented image can run application code as root, while a stale Fedora job and other configuration inconsistencies remain. These should be corrected before merge.

Inline comments:
In `@2.5/README.md`:
- Around line 4-7: Update the stream-specific README generation in src/README.md
so the selected matrix renders only the RHEL8 builder image availability text
for Ruby 2.5 and only the RHEL9 text for Ruby 3.0. Regenerate both 2.5/README.md
lines 4-7 and 3.0/README.md lines 4-7 from the template; do not edit the
rendered files directly.

In `@3.3/README.md`:
- Around line 231-233: Update the Dockerfile-list generation in src/README.md to
derive entries from each Ruby version’s supported matrix, then regenerate the
READMEs. In 3.3/README.md lines 231-233, include Dockerfile.rhel10; in
4.0/README.md lines 231-233, remove Dockerfile.rhel8.

In `@specs/multispec.yml`:
- Line 115: Remove the stale fedora-42-x86_64 entry from the 4.0 workflow matrix
in the distros configuration, preserving the other distribution entries.

In `@src/README.md`:
- Line 117: Update the Dockerfile example so it switches from root to non-root
user 1001 after dependency installation and before the CMD instruction, ensuring
the runtime application does not start with root privileges.
- Around line 215-223: The Puma memory guidance in the README conflicts with the
implementation. Update the section around the worker-memory formula to describe
the 256 MiB default from MEMORY_BYTES_PER_WORKER and explain that cgroup memory
limits workers based on that value, while documenting PUMA_WORKERS as the
override. Remove the outdated 50 + 15 * WORKERS + 0.125 * WORKERS *
PUMA_MAX_THREADS formula.

In `@src/s2i/bin/run`:
- Around line 36-37: Update the rackup-unavailable error branch in the run
script to execute exit 1 after printing both error messages, ensuring the
container reports startup failure instead of successful completion.

In `@test/test-fips/app.rb`:
- Line 13: Update the cipher name passed to OpenSSL::Cipher.new in the FIPS test
to match the /symmetric/aes-256-cbc endpoint, using aes-256-cbc so the test
exercises the advertised algorithm.

jackorp force-pushed the distgen_migration branch 3 times, most recently from 83b5589 to b275027 Compare September 16, 2026 12:54
Instead of using .exclude* marker files we can just not generate the
Dockerfiles in the first place by not having the combination in the
multispec `include` section

README.md: fix for section's "Building an application using a Dockerfile"
numbered subsections 3.1 and 3.2. At some point, I can only assume there
was an equivalent of `sed -i -e 's/3.1/3.2/g'` and equivalent for 3.2 ->
3.3 and so on until 4.0. However there was an unwanted result of the
change that changed not only referenced ruby, but also the section
number. Since the replace was global, the links were still correct
though. Here, we bring it back to the intended numbering.

multispect.yml: Use YAML anchors for generic things. These anchors can
be injected into the specific sections to deduplicate common items
used during generation.

Each Ruby version may have special consideration to the required gem set.
Specific distro choice usually does not enter the consideration to the
Gemfile contents, the Ruby version is usually the deciding factor.

Assisted-by: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The required files (Gemfile{,.lock}) are now templated via distgen.
We can move the files to the main test/ dir.
…rsions.

Similarly to python, use equivalent of 'main_image', but name it such that
it is clear its use is to be the reference image for README.
Multiple files seem to have been removed from the common module that
existing versions referred to via a symlink.

Remove those dangling symlinks.
Seems this file is here from RHEL 7 era, which is not a valid target
of the repo for some time. We should be safe to just remove it, newer
streams do not contain the file.
The comments explain why this was added, newer rubies do not contain the comments
at all, we can just go forward without them. Newer bundler from newer rubies
should not accept the deprecated setting form anyway.
Before distgen, due to Ruby 4.0's bundler >= 4.0, which no longer
accepts the deprecated `--path` argument for `bundle install`, Ruby
2.5's from-dockerfile/Dockerfile test was forked to keep the deprecated
form and `bundle config set` added for the Ruby >= 3.0.

Special-case the file for Ruby 2.5, as it's the odd one out with the
incompatibility.

Assisted-by: Claude Sonnet 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
test-fips was not made for and is not expected to be used with RHEL 8.
The specific pytest gates that correctly. But to prevent additional
fork of files/generation, just add it also to Ruby 2.5 even if that
Ruby is only available on RHEL 8.
While it doesnt seem we ever shipped for C9S, existance of at least
one Dockerfile seems to be assumed for the distro column to exist
and for the CI checks to not complain. Further decision on PR,
but this commit should NEVER reach main branch.
