Dkdeploy::Rails

Description

This Rubygem dkdeploy represents the extension of Capistrano tasks directed to advanced Rails deployment processes.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile

gem 'dkdeploy-rails', '~> 1.0'

and then execute

bundle install

or install it yourself as

gem install dkdeploy-rails

Usage

Run in your project root

bundle exec cap install STAGES='dev,integration,testing,production'

This command will create the following Capistrano file structure with all the standard pre-configured constants. Please be aware of the difference to the native installation of Capistrano. Certainly you have to adjust config/deploy.rb and respective stages and customize them for your needs.


  ├── Capfile
  └── config
     ├── deploy
     │   ├── dev.rb
     │   ├── integration.rb
     │   ├── testing.rb
     │   └── production.rb
     └── deploy.rb

As next you have to append the following line to the Capfile in order to make use of dkdeploy extensions in addition to the standard Capistrano tasks:

require 'capistrano/dkdeploy/rails'

To convince yourself, that Capistrano tasks list has been extended, please run

cap -T

Please note, that dkdeploy uses the local copy strategy and overwrites the :scm constant. If you want to use it, you should do nothing more. However if you want to change it, for example to :git, please add the following line to deploy.rb

set :scm, :git

For more information about available Capistrano constants please use the Capistrano documentation. The complete list of the dkdeploy constants you find on project wiki page.
