Introduction

This gem is based off of Capistrano_s3 gem found at Github. This gem pushes each file in your repository to s3 whereas the Capistrano_s3 gem compresses your repository and pushes to s3 as a single compressed file.

Git-2-S3 is a capistrano deployment strategy that will:

* git clone locally
* push the files to S3
* each server pulls the files from S3

This allows one to push a github repository to Amazon’s S3 Data storage.

Installation

gem install git-2-s3

To use it, specify properties in config/deploy.rb:

set :deploy_via, :s3_bucket
set :deploy_s3_bucket, 'com.example.releases' # The name of the S3 bucket that should get releases
s3_config = YAML::load(ERB.new(IO.read("secret/s3.yml")).result) # Follow this pattern and don't check in your secrets
# s3_config = { 'AWS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER' => '1234-5678-9012', 'AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID' => 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST', 'AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY' => 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz01234567890ABC' }
set :s3_config, s3_config

Now regular Capistrano deployment tasks will go to S3
