Capistrano examples used in my July ComoRichWeb Talk. Slides

This assumes you are running the same vagrant box I ran during the presentation that can be found here.

It is also assumed you have ruby installed, which I'll leave the sleuthing up to you. (Pssst... you should check out RVM ).

You will also need these gems:

• capistrano
• railsless-deploy

• ssh-copy-id www-deploy@my.example.com
• add the following to ~/.ssh/config on your machine

Host my.example.com
  ForwardAgent yes

• you may need to ssh in and run ssh -T git@github.com and accept the key on the virtual machine / server
• run cap deploy:setup
• run cap deploy
• wget http://my.example.com | cat
• profit

Not breaking from my usual setup, each topic I covered is divided into git branches.

• static-site-simple - the base I started with... simply deploy the project to the remote server
• exclude-files - excludes non-web files from deployment
• post-deploy-hook uses a post-deploy hook to download a profile image from twitter and place it under the document root.

Enjoy!
