RubyGems Standard Notes
Nitro’s Ruby implementation supports the RubyGems Compact Index API and the legacy RubyGems marshal index endpoints typically used by Bundler/RubyGems when talking to custom sources.
Supported Features
- Compact Index:
GET|HEAD /names,GET|HEAD /versions,GET|HEAD /info/<gem> - Gem downloads:
GET|HEAD /gems/<gem-file>.gem - Legacy RubyGems index (Bundler compatibility):
GET|HEAD /specs.4.8.gzGET|HEAD /latest_specs.4.8.gzGET|HEAD /prerelease_specs.4.8.gzGET|HEAD /quick/Marshal.4.8/*.gemspec.rz
- Hosted publish/yank:
POST /api/v1/gemsDELETE /api/v1/gems/yank
Unsupported / Out of Scope
- RubyGems “full index” endpoints not listed above (Nitro does not aim for full RubyGems protocol parity)
- Extra RubyGems.org APIs (owners, reverse dependencies, search endpoints, stats)
Authentication
- Reads respect Nitro repository visibility + repository auth settings.
- Writes require Nitro
Writepermission on the repository. - RubyGems clients commonly send
Authorization: <token>; Nitro also accepts standard Bearer tokens (Authorization: Bearer <token>).
