Custom recipes that extend capistrano for provisioning and deploying rails application to a VPS..

This gem originates from Railscasts (Ryan Bates) excellent series of screencasts on deployment.. I suggest you should check it out..

1. Capistrano Recipes
2. Deploying to a VPS
3. Deployment etc..

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'debot'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install debot

$ capify .

Next generate the stages and deploy files by typing:

$ rake debot:setup

NB: You need to require debot in your own deploy.rb file, that is if you don't want debot to generate the stages and deploy files for you as show above.

For a detailed list of all the the task availble:

$ cap -vT

To provision an ubuntu based VPS:

$ cap debot:install

To setup your application/website:

$ cap deploy:setup

NB: this will setup your postgres database, nginx and unicorn config for the application.

If you need to work on a bug in production first:

$ cap go:down

And then after the bug is fixed:

$ cap go:live

If you need to undo the application setup (i.e nginx, unicorn and postgres) configs

$ cap debot:takedown

NB: This will undo the setup for your postgres database, nginx and unicorn config files for the application in question.
