Show HN: dockerc – Docker image to static executable "compiler"
https://github.com/YOU54F/traveling-ruby
ruby-packer is what I use to distribute a paid CLI, although on macOS only because my product is specifically for customers on macOS.
The advantage of ruby-packer is that it is much simpler, but you need to have access to each OS where you want to distribute your executable. OTOH, with traveling-ruby, you can build executables for all OSes from the same machine.

Create Stand-alone Ruby 3.1.3 Executables For Any Platform
For a while, there wasn't a way to pack a Ruby binary with anything but an ancient Ruby (2.7). I have 3.1.x working now in a Ruby Packer fork, so I thought I'd share!
What are some alternatives?
When comparing traveling-ruby and ruby-packer you can also consider the following projects:
dockerc - container image to single executable compiler
crun - A fast and lightweight fully featured OCI runtime and C library for running containers
