Update Ruby on Mastodon Applications

justincox

The version of Ruby installed using the Opalstack Mastodon application is 2.6.5. After updating Mastodon to 4.1.0, the Mastodon Gem file requires Ruby 2.7.0 to 3.1.0. As a result, my RAILS_ENV=production bin/tootctl no longer work.

I tried to update Ruby by running rvm install 3.1.0 in the SSH terminal, but it returned rvm: command not found. Is there a different way of updating Ruby in the Opalstack application?

justincox Our Mastodon setup uses Ruby 3.0.2, installed under /opt/rh/rh-ruby30/ on the servers.

In your app directory there is a script named setenv which you must source to set the environment before you run tootctl commands, like so:

source ~/apps/name_of_app/setenv

Once that's done your shell session will be configured to use the correct Ruby and everything else that Mastodon needs.
