The sturdy d'ploy-mate
T'arrust me, bucko. I can do it.
This little gem can be added to your ruby-projects in order to set up a working ruby-server and deploy to it Hanse Ventures' style.
Installation
Add this to your project's Gemfile
:
gem 'deploy_mate', git: 'https://[email protected]/hanseventures/deploy-mate'
and run bundle install
.
After installing the gem you need to generate the files needed to be able to deploy with capistrano.
Add this at the end of your project's Rakefile
:
load 'deploy_mate/tasks.rake'
then run
rake deploy_mate:install
Follow the instructions.
This will create the following files for you:
Capfile
config/deploy.rb
config/deploy/<your-stage>.rb
When done: Remove load 'deploy_mate/tasks.rake'
from your Rakefile
. It is not needed anymore and will otherwise only cause problems.
Updating the gem
Should you need to update your deploy_mate
-version (e.g. because somebody fixed a bug in the gem), run:
bundle update deploy_mate
This will bump you up to the latest repo-version.
Setting up a server
- Spawn yourself a basic Ubuntu 14 at the provider of your choice.
- Create a working SSH-configuration for that server and try it our using
ssh <your-server-name>
- Run
cap <your-stage> machine:init
to install the needed packages. - Run
cap <your-stage> machine:setup
the setup all needed configuration-files on the server - Run
cap <your-stage> deploy
and be done.
