PrimeHosting Capistrano Recipes

A gem of recipes to facilitate easy deployment of Rails applications to [PrimeHosting] using [Capistrano].

Usage

---

Here is an example capistrano deploy.rb file which will deploy the application ‘cheese` for the user `prime`. The application will be using port `11000`

require 'primehosting'

set :user, "prime"
set :application, "cheese"
set :repository, "git://github.com/geoffgarside/ph-cheese.git"

set :deploy_via, :remote_cache

set :scm, :git
set :ssh_options, { :forward_agent => true }

set :app_port, "11000"

after "deploy:update_code", "database:copy_config"

once you’ve setup your config/deploy.rb file run ‘cap deploy:setup` and your deployment directories will be setup for you.

Note that by default it will deploy to

/usr/home/:user/apps/:application

so in the above example it would be

/usr/home/prime/apps/cheese

that the application would be deployed to. If you’ve setup your rails application to run from a different directory then you will need to set it by adding something like

set :deploy_to, "/usr/home/#{user}/rails_apps/#{application}"

if you’ve put your applications in ‘rails_apps` instead of apps.
