Phylum RubyGems Registry

The Phylum RubyGems registry is based on Ruby's compact index API.

Configuration​

All configuration options will require a Phylum API key, since Phylum requires authentication. You can find out how to generate one in our API Keys documentation.

In the following examples, all API keys will be represented as <PHYLUM_API_KEY>, so make sure to replace them with your generated key.

Additionally, if the default policy is not sufficient, a group can be passed to evaluate all packages against the group's policy. To do this, just replace <PHYLUM_GROUP> with the desired group name. The supplied API key must have access to this group.

If Phylum's default policy is sufficient, you can remove all instances of <PHYLUM_GROUP>.

bundle​

A mirror for Ruby's default repository can be configured using bundle config. We define a fallback timeout of 9999 to prevent Ruby from silently falling back to the official registry should Phylum's mirror go down.

bundle config set --global mirror.https://rubygems.org https://rubygems.phylum.io
bundle config set --global mirror.https://rubygems.org.fallback_timeout 9999

After setting up the mirror, you also need to provide Phylum's group and API key for authorization:

bundle config set --global rubygems.phylum.io <PHYLUM_GROUP>:<PHYLUM_API_KEY>

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️

Do not accidentally save your token into your shell history.

A blocked package will show up in bundle output as missing:

Could not find gem 'bad_gem' with platform 'x86_64-linux' in rubygems repository https://rubygems.org/ or installed locally.
