rt_capistrano is based on the mt-capistrano gem (0.0.5). ‘after’ methods were added to streamline the setup and deployment of Rails apps on (mt) Media Temple’s (gs) Grid-Server Ruby on Rails container. This gem makes it as easy as entering the following commands for initial deployment without having to execute any ‘mtr’ commands in between:
cap deploy:setup cap deploy:cold
Install
gem install rt_capistrano
Example
## Sample config/deploy.rb file:
require ‘rt_capistrano’
set :site, “00000” set :application, “app_name” set :webpath, “app_name.your_domain.com” set :domain, “your_domain.com” set :user, “serveradmin%your_domain.com” set :password, “serveradmin_password”
# repository elsewhere set :scm, :git set :repository, “your_git_repository” set :branch, “master” set :deploy_via, :remote_cache
# these shouldn’t be changed role :web, “#{domain}” role :app, “#{domain}” role :db, “#{domain}”, :primary => true set :deploy_to, “/home/#{site}/containers/rails/#{application}”
namespace :deploy do desc “Creates the database configuration file in the application’s config directory.” task :update_config, :roles => :app do database_yml = <<-CMD production: adapter: mysql database: your_production_database username: your_database_username password: your_database_password host: your_internal_database_url CMD put database_yml, “#{release_path}/config/database.yml” end after “deploy:update_code”, “deploy:update_config” end
