I am doing some testing on charms and I discovered that the gitlab does not deploy on environments with limited network access.

Here is the error from the

2014-08-22 20:21:31 INFO juju-log Installing bundler gem
 2014-08-22 20:21:31 INFO install + sudo gem install bundler
2014-08-22 20:23:39 INFO install ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'bundler' (>= 0) in any repository

From what I can tell gem was not able to find bundler on the network. Since the system has a limited network I am running Juju with proxies. The ubuntu-local-machine-4 has HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables set but they were not used.

I found the command:

sudo gem install --http-proxy $HTTP_PROXY bundler

works and installs the bundler. Therefore I would recommend changing the install hook to use the HTTP_PROXY when available:

        GEM_OPTIONS=""
        if [ -n "${HTTP_PROXY}" ]; then
                GEM_OPTIONS="--http-proxy ${HTTP_PROXY}"
        fi
        juju-log "Installing bundler gem"
        sudo gem install ${GEM_OPTIONS} bundler

I tried the above code and the bundler gem installs, but a curl command fails later in the install hook.

I researched curl and found the -x or --proxy option for curl. I tried using -x and --proxy but was not successful in downloading the file using curl. I was successful downloading the file with wget (that program automatically used the proxy settings).
