do you know where in the code those ruby gem fetches for plugins happen? I tried looking for it but haven’t found the right place yet.

I’m thinking maybe instead of using cached gems maybe it would be more elegant to run a rubygems mirror on the isolated host, i found a tutorial here and it looks like you can configure extra system-wide gem sources
