Capistrano Configuration¶ ↑

Capistrano Configuration allows you to create configurations on deployment, so you don’t have to worry about copy different yml files to the right place (especially when you have multiple deploy stages in one repository)

sudo gem install capistrano-configuration --source=http://gemcutter.org

Simply add the following to your deploy.rb file:

require 'capistrano-configuration'

and then write your configurations in ruby like so:

configure :database do
  environment 'development' do
    config 'username', 'app'
    config 'password', 'secret'
  end
  environment 'production' do
    config 'username', 'app_production'
    config 'password', 'secret_production'
  end
end

configure :google_map_key do
  config 'map_key', 'u232398b208x9830x30xb383'
end

The gem will take care of the rest. It stores your configurations, and after the code is updated, it’ll write the configurations needed for things like migrations.

Note: The method name environment doesn’t suit all configurations, so that method has an alias called ‘context’ which you can use to do the same thing.
