Setting up a Rails App

To get a Rails app up and running with Strano, first we need to install Strano as a plugin. You can just install it as a normal plugin (All of these commands should be run from the root of your Rails app): <pre>./script/plugin install git://github.com/johnnyt/strano.git</pre> We have this directory structure: <pre> projects_root |- strano_custom_files # This is our private git repo for the Variables file, etc |- rails_app # Any Rails application | |- config | |- deploy.rb | |- strano_custom_files # Symlink to ../../strano_custom_files</pre> This way all of our applications have the config/strano_custom_files symlinked to ../../strano_custom_files, so that symlink can be checked into git. So – now let’s get the config files setup (This should be handled automatically in the future). <pre>cp vendor/plugins/strano/examples/rails_app/config/deploy.rb config/ cd config ln -s ../../strano_custom_files strano_custom_files cd ..</pre> Now if you run <code>cap -T</code> from the app root, you should get something like this: <pre>cap deploy # Deploys your project. cap deploy:check # Test deployment dependencies. cap deploy:cleanup # Clean up old releases. cap deploy:cold # Deploys and starts a `cold' application. cap deploy:migrate # Run the migrate rake task. cap deploy:migrations # Deploy and run pending migrations. cap deploy:pending # Displays the commits since your last deploy. cap deploy:pending:diff # Displays the `diff' since your last deploy. cap deploy:restart # Restarting Passenger with restart.txt cap deploy:rollback # Rolls back to a previous version and rest... cap deploy:rollback:code # Rolls back to the previously deployed ver... cap deploy:setup # Prepares one or more servers for deployment. cap deploy:symlink # Updates the symlink to the most recently ... cap deploy:update # Copies your project and updates the symlink. cap deploy:update_code # Copies your project to the remote servers. cap deploy:upload # Copy files to the currently deployed vers... cap deploy:web:disable # Present a maintenance page to visitors. cap deploy:web:enable # Makes the application web-accessible again. cap invoke # Invoke a single command on the remote ser... cap maint:off # Take down the maintenance page cap maint:on # Put up the maintenance page cap nginx:disable # Disable the site on the NGINX level cap nginx:enable # Enable the site on the NGINX level cap nginx:restart # Restart NGINX cap password:deploy # Enters deploy's PW on the server cap production # Set the target stage to 'production'. cap sass:update # Updates the stylesheets generated by Sass cap shell # Begin an interactive Capistrano session. cap slice:nginx:restart # Restart NGINX cap slice:password:deploy # Enters deploy's PW on the server cap slice:setup # Setup a new slice from scratch (will prom... cap slice:status:passenger:memory # Display Passenger memory usage. cap slice:status:passenger:status # Display Passenger status information. cap slice:update_keys # Update ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and reload ... cap slice:update_shell_env # Updates the shell env (.bashrc, .vimrc, etc) cap slice:update_ssh_config # Update ~/.ssh/config - automatically adds... cap snapshot:to:local # Local cap snapshot:to:staging # Staging cap staging # Set the target stage to 'staging'. cap strano:setup # Setup the site on a server (deploy:setup,... cap tail:rails # Tail rails log.
