PrimeHosting Capistrano Recipes

A gem of recipes to facilitate easy deployment of Rails applications to PrimeHosting using Capistrano.

Usage

Here is an example capistrano deploy.rb file which will deploy the application cheese for the user prime. The application will be using port 11000

require 'primehosting'

set :user, "prime"
set :application, "cheese"
set :repository, "git://github.com/geoffgarside/ph-cheese.git"

set :deploy_via, :remote_cache

set :scm, :git
set :ssh_options, { :forward_agent => true }

set :app_port, "11000"

after "deploy:update_code", "database:copy_config"

once you've setup your config/deploy.rb file run cap deploy:setup and your deployment directories will be setup for you.

Note that by default it will deploy to

/usr/home/:user/apps/:application

so in the above example it would be

/usr/home/prime/apps/cheese

that the application would be deployed to. If you've setup your rails application to run from a different directory then you will need to set it by adding something like

set :deploy_to, "/usr/home/#{user}/rails_apps/#{application}"

if you've put your applications in rails_apps instead of apps.
