Deploy away!
Here you replace [your-server] with the address of the server, which is the same one
that you’ve been SSH’ing to. If you’re using Vagrant, this address is simply localhost
and you’ll need to add another line to specify the port:
set :port, 2200
Now that you’ve covered all the default options in config/deply.rb, you’ll add some
others to provide more information to Capistrano so that it can set up your application
correctly.
The first two settings that you’ll need to set up are the user and the path to which
you’ll deploy your application. Capistrano (unfortunately) can’t guess what these are,
and so you have to be explicit. The user will be the ticketeeapp.com user and the path
will be /home/ticketeeapp.com/apps. Use the application name as the name of a subfolder
of that application so the application will be deployed into /home/ticketeeapp
.com/apps/ticketee. Underneath the set :scm line, put these settings:
set :user, "ticketeeapp.com"
set :deploy_to, "/home/ticketeeapp.com/apps/#{application}"
The ticketeeapp.com user doesn’t have sudo privileges, so tell Capistrano not to use
the sudo command by using this line:
set :use_sudo, false
When you deploy your application, you don’t want to keep every single release that
you’ve ever deployed on the server. To get rid of the old deploys (referred to as
releases), put this in config/deploy.rb:
set :keep_releases, 5
This will keep the last five releases that you have deployed, deleting any releases that
are older than that.
Last, at the bottom of the file there are a couple of lines for defining
deploy:start, deploy:stop, and deploy:restart tasks for Passenger, which are commented
out. Remove the comment hash from the beginning of these lines, transforming
them to this:
namespace :deploy do
task :start do ; end
task :stop do ; end
task :restart, :roles => :app, :except => { :no_release => true } do
run "#{try_sudo} touch #{File.join(current_path,'tmp','restart.txt')}"
end
end
This defines a blank start and stop task and a full restart task for your app role.
This task will run the touch /home/ticketeapp.com/apps/ticketee/tmp/restart.txt
command, which will tell your server (not yet set up) to restart the application, causing
your newly deployed code to be started up upon the next request.
