This image is designed to supercede the legacy CircleCI Ruby image, circleci/ruby.
cimg/ruby is a Docker image created by CircleCI with continuous integration builds in mind.
Each tag contains a complete Ruby version, the gem command, Bundler, and any binaries and tools that are required for builds to complete successfully in a CircleCI environment.
The CircleCI Docker Convenience Image support policy can be found on the CircleCI docs site. This policy outlines the release, update, and deprecation policy for CircleCI Docker Convenience Images.
This image can be used with the CircleCI docker executor.
For example:
jobs:
build:
docker:
- image: cimg/ruby:3.2.2
steps:
- checkout
- run: ruby --versionIn the above example, the CircleCI Ruby Docker image is used for the primary container.
More specifically, the tag 3.2.2 is used meaning the version of Ruby will be Ruby v3.2.2.
You can now use Ruby within the steps for this job.
This image contains the Ruby programming language.
This includes the gem command as well as Bundler pre-installed.
Variant images typically contain the same base software, but with a few additional modifications.
The Node.js variant is the same Ruby image but with Node.js also installed.
The Node.js variant can be used by appending -node to the end of an existing cimg/ruby tag.
jobs:
build:
docker:
- image: cimg/ruby:3.2-node
steps:
- checkout
- run: ruby --version
- run: node --versionThe browsers variant is the same Ruby image but with Node.js, Java, Selenium, and browser dependencies pre-installed via apt.
The browsers variant can be used by appending -browser to the end of an existing cimg/ruby tag.
The browsers variant is designed to work in conjunction with the CircleCI Browser Tools orb.
You can use the orb to install a version of Google Chrome and/or Firefox into your build. The image contains all of the supporting tools needed to use both the browser and its driver.

steps:

ruby --version
node --version
java --version
google-chrome --versionThis image has the following tagging scheme:
cimg/ruby:<ruby-version>[-variant]
<ruby-version> - The version of Ruby to use.
This can be a full SemVer point release (such as 3.2.0) or just the minor release (such as 3.2).
If you use the minor release tag, it will automatically point to future patch updates as they are released.
For example, the tag 3.2 points to Ruby v3.2.0 now, but when the next release comes out, it will point to Ruby v3.2.1.
[-variant] - Variant tags, if available, can optionally be used.
For example, the Node.js variant can be used like this: cimg/ruby:3.2.0-node.
Images can be built and run locally with this repository. This has the following requirements:
- local machine of Linux (Ubuntu tested) or macOS
- modern version of Bash (v4+)
- modern version of Docker Engine (v19.03+)
Fork this repository on GitHub.
When you get your clone URL, you'll want to add --recurse-submodules to the clone command in order to populate the Git submodule contained in this repo.
It would look something like this:
git clone --recurse-submodules <my-clone-url>If you missed this step and already cloned, you can just run git submodule update --recursive to populate the submodule.
Then you can optionally add this repo as an upstream to your own:
git remote add upstream https://github.com/CircleCI-Public/cimg-ruby.gitClone the project with the following command so that you populate the submodule:
git clone --recurse-submodules [email protected]:CircleCI-Public/cimg-ruby.gitDockerfiles can be generated for a specific Ruby version using the gen-dockerfiles.sh script.
For example, to generate the Dockerfile for Ruby v3.2.0, you would run the following from the root of the repo:
./shared/gen-dockerfiles.sh 3.2.0The generated Dockerfile will be located at ./3.2/Dockefile.
To build this image locally and try it out, you can run the following:
cd 3.2/
docker build -t test/ruby:3.2.0 .
docker run -it test/ruby:3.2.0 bashTo build the Docker images locally as this repository does, you'll want to run the build-images.sh script:
./build-images.shThis would need to be run after generating the Dockerfiles first. When releasing proper images for CircleCI, this script is run from a CircleCI pipeline and not locally.
The individual scripts (above) can be used to create the correct files for an image, and then added to a new git branch, committed, etc. A release script is included to make this process easier. To make a proper release for this image, let's use the fake Ruby version of v9.99, you would run the following from the repo root:
./shared/release.sh 9.99This will automatically create a new Git branch, generate the Dockerfile(s), stage the changes, commit them, and push them to GitHub.
The commit message will end with the string [release].
This string is used by CircleCI to know when to push images to Docker Hub.
All that would need to be done after that is:
- wait for build to pass on CircleCI
- review the PR
- merge the PR
The main branch build will then publish a release.
How changes are incorporated into this image depends on where they come from.
build scripts - Changes within the ./shared submodule happen in its own repository.
For those changes to affect this image, the submodule needs to be updated.
Typically like this:
cd shared
git pull
cd ..
git add shared
git commit -m "Updating submodule for foo."parent image - By design, when changes happen to a parent image, they don't appear in existing Ruby images. This is to aid in "determinism" and prevent breaking customer builds. New Ruby images/versions though will automatically pick up the changes.
If you really want to publish changes from a parent image into the Ruby image, you have to build a specific image version as if it was a new image. This will create a new Dockerfile and once published, a new image.
Ruby specific changes - Editing the Dockerfile.template file in this repo is how to modify the Ruby image specifically.
Don't forget that to see any of these changes locally, the gen-dockerfiles.sh script will need to be run again (see above).
