That's a general concern for all Rails apps, not specific to Radiant. AFAIK
common practice is still to keep database.yml out of source control and
maintain a separate copy on each staging or production server. We symlink ours
from the shared path to the current checkout on each deploy:
namespace :deploy do
desc "Symlink necessary files into current dir"
task :symlink_configs do
run "ln -sf #{shared_path}/database.yml
#{release_path}/config/database.yml"
# copy any other sensitive configs or initializers you might need
-- S3 keys, etc.
end
after 'deploy:update_code', 'deploy:symlink_configs'
end
How you get database.yml into your shared path is another matter. The blog you
linked to has a recipe for that as well.
