This tiny gem does one thing: runs Babushka deps on all your servers from your Capistrano recipes and pass in variables.

Portions are based on Dollhouse.

Gemfile:

gem 'capushka'

in your config/deploy.rb

require "capushka"

...
# Usual deploy recipe stuff
...

namespace :setup do
  task :create_application_user do
    
    # This is the magic part
    babushka 'benhoskings:user exists', {:username => application}
    
  end
end

This will run Ben Hoskings' 'user exists' dep, which creates a new user in your application name, this is roughly equivalent to logging into each server and running:

babushka 'benhoskings:user exists'

And then entering the username every time it asks.

This does of course assume you have babushka bootstrapped, if not, run the bootstrap_babushka task

• Better error checking and handling from Babushka
• Cleanup vars file when finished?
• Don't overwrite vars file very time, consider merging options.
• Cleanup STDOUT from babushka which doesn't play real nice with Capistrano
• Don't run in parallel?
• Write tests which work with Capistrano
