freerange/deploy

Allows simple, git-based deployment on freerange-compatible servers (see assumptions below)

How to use


In your project, run:

$ freerange-deploy setup REPOSITORY HOST [NAME]

This should add a Capfile, config/deploy.rb and config/deploy/production.rb files to the project. Feel free to edit the deploy.rb and production.rb files as you wish.

When ready, from your project run:

$ cap production host:setup
$ cap production deploy:setup

The first command adds a VHOST file to /etc/apache2/sites-available and enables it. The second does the standard capistrano setup stuff.

For simple apps, you should now be able to deploy:

$ cap production deploy

Assumptions


  1. You’re deploying as ‘deploy’

  2. You’re deploying to /var/www/<application>

  3. The deploy user has write access to /etc/apache2/sites-available

  4. The deploy user is a sudoer
