Capistrano Precompile Chooser
Capistrano plugin to precompile your Rails assets locally, remotely, or not at all provided with a very convenient default terminal prompt.
By Default, on every deploy this plugin will prompt you on whether you want to precompile your assets locally, remotely, or not at all. Alternatively you can set some variable for fully automated deploys.
$ cap production deploy
How do you want to compile assets? (local/remote/skip)
skip
Precompile Modes
-
local
- Local Precompilation Mode (Improves Memory/Load Spikes on Server during Deploys) -
remote
- Remote Precompilation Mode (Rails Default) -
skip
- No Precompilation (Speeds up deployments with unchanged assets)
Installation
# Gemfile
group :development do
gem "capistrano-precompile-chooser"
end
# Capfile
# require 'capistrano/rails' ### Comment Out or Remove this line
require 'capistrano/precompile_chooser'
If you want to be able to safely use the skip
option you must add public/assets
to your capistrano :shared_dirs
variable
# config/deploy.rb
set :linked_dirs, %w{ <other-dirs> public/assets }
Usage
Now when running a deployment:
$ cap production deploy
How do you want to compile assets? (local/remote/skip)
skip
You can also use the $PRECOMPILE
environment variable
$ PRECOMPILE_MODE="local" cap production deploy
Or for fully automated deploys
# Capfile
ENV['PRECOMPILE_MODE'] = 'local'
require 'capistrano/precompile_chooser'
Configuration Options,
### For Local Precompile Only
set :assets_dir, "public/assets"
set :packs_dir, "public/packs"
set :rsync_cmd, "rsync -av --delete"
set :assets_role, "web"
