capistrano-banner

capistrano-banner displays application banner, and pause in production stage

Gemfile:

gem 'capistrano-banner'

Then:

$ bundle

After version 0.1.0, capistrano-banner works well just with capistrano >= 3.

If you're using capistrano =< 2, please use this gem versioned 0.0.x

First, create your application banner in config/banner.txt.

Like this:

$ gem install artii
$ artii --font=banner3-D yourapp > config/banner.txt

(about artii: https://github.com/miketierney/artii )

Then enable in Capfile:

require 'capistrano/banner'

This line hooks deploy:banner task just before deploy:starting.

See also capistrano(3) flow.

After all, let's execute cap!

$ cap production deploy
  '##:::'##::'#######::'##::::'##:'########:::::'###::::'########::'########::
  . ##:'##::'##.... ##: ##:::: ##: ##.... ##:::'## ##::: ##.... ##: ##.... ##:

  This is production stage. Are you ready? (y/N) > 

In production stage, capistarano pauses and waits your input.

In another way, you can call banner method in your task:

task :foobar do
  CapistranoBanner.banner("./config/custom.txt")
end

capistrano-banner respects some capistrano settings:

• :banner_path : A path to banner source file. Default to "./config/banner.txt"
• :banner_options : Set specifc banner options with Hash:
  • :color => :colorname' banner color (e.g. :red, :green and :blue ... see https://github.com/flori/term-ansicolor )
  • :pause => true anyway pause
  • :force => true don't pause even if production env
