Hello, Capistrano is great for it's purpose, but sometimes You need
not only deployment (but also install & manage things like nginx &
mysql) and Your way is a little different than the opinionated 'The
Rails Way'. And in these situations using Capistrano may be a little
difficult.
If this is the case, then maybe You will be interested in the general
purposed tool to configure and manage Your remote machine(es).
The Vfs (Virtual File System) + Vos (Virtual Operating System) - tools
to eliminate difference between local and remote machine, it makes
working with remote machine as if it's local. You may also think of it
as kind of ActiveRecord for File Systems (the AR uses the same api for
almost any database, the same principle is here).
A little code sample:
server = Box.new('cool_app.com')
me = '~'.to_dir
deploy_dir = server['apps/cool_app']
projects = me['projects']
# copying from local project to remote
projects['my_cool_app'].copy_to deploy_dir
# configuring database on remote machine
database_config = deploy_dir.file('config/database.yml')
database_config.write("user: root\npassword: secret")
# starting rails on remote machine
deploy_dir.bash 'rails production'
It's just a small part of it's API, please see more in docs below.
I'm personally use it to manage my sites, for example http://ruby-lang.info
Here's the project itself:
