capistrano tasks

[Alexey Poimtsev]

Could you add please capistrano tasks to enable maintance mode remotely?

[Adam Crownoble]

We don't use Capistrano at all. So I doubt we'll find the time to add the functionality. But we'd be happy to accept any pull requests.

Example capistrano tasks:

namespace :maintenance do
  desc "Maintenance start"
  task :on, :roles => :web do
    on_rollback { run "rm #{current_path}/tmp/maintenance.yml" }
    page = File.read("config/maintenance.yml")
    put page, "#{current_path}/tmp/maintenance.yml", :mode => 0644
  end

  desc "Maintenance stop"
  task :off, :roles => :web do
    run "rm #{release_path}/tmp/maintenance.yml"
  end
end
