Capistrano::UnicornNginx

Capistrano tasks for automatic and sensible WAL-E configuration

Goals of this plugin:

• automatic configuration for setting up WAL-E for continuous backups of PostgreSQL.

Specifics:

• generates environment variables for WAL-e
• sets up cronjobs for base backups and deleting old ones

Almost all the setup has been done by capistrano. There is just one manual step that needs to be done.

• Uncomment and modify these lines in your postgresql.conf file under /etc/postgresql/9.3/main/

wal_level = archive
archive_mode = on
archive_command = 'envdir /etc/wal-e.d/env /usr/local/bin/wal-e wal-push %p'
archive_timeout = 60

Then restart postgres: service postgresql restart.

• Test by making the first snapshot backup:

/usr/bin/envdir /etc/wal-e.d/env /usr/local/bin/wal-e backup-push /var/lib/postgresql/9.3/main

capistrano-wal-e works only with Capistrano 3!

Add this to Gemfile:

group :development do
  gem 'capistrano', '~> 3.2.1'
  gem 'capistrano-wal-e', '~> 0.1.1'
end

And then:

$ bundle install
