= passenger-recipes * http://github.com/jtrupiano/passenger-recipes/tree/master == DESCRIPTION: This gem provides a set of recipes for deploying with Passenger. It's much more restrictive than Capistrano in the sense that it 'locks down' some aspects of what Capistrano actually allows. See the FEATURES section below for more specific details. == INCOMPLETE == * Missing a detailed sample config file * This README is still quite sparse-- add in summaries for each new task * Describe changes to default deploy recipes * Discuss dependencies a bit more * Implement OS-specific default values (Ubuntu and CentOS at a minimum) == FEATURES/PROBLEMS: * Enforces non-root deployment. The deploy:setup task does not actually execute anything, but rather outputs a set of instructions for you to manually execute. The reason for this is that certain aspects of setting up a server require root access. Incremental deployment, by contrast, does not require this level of privilege. As such, I recommend that you take care of setting up your server manually. Note: to "lift" this restriction, you can simply override the :ensure_not_root function. e.g. def ensure_not_root; end However, this is not recommended, considering Apache needs to own all of your files. * Sets up a symlink in the shared directory (passenger.conf) that is updated on each successive deploy. This allows you to change your apache config through a deployment. You'll need to log in manually as a privileged user to restart apache. * NEW PROPERTIES --> DEFAULTS # Where is the apache config snippet :apache_conf --> {"#{latest_release}/config/#{rails_env}/apache.conf"} # Which group does apache run as :apache_group --> www-data == SYNOPSIS: FIX (code sample of usage) == REQUIREMENTS: * capistrano-extensions 0.1.4 == INSTALL: * rake gem * sudo gem install pkg/passenger-recipes-0.1.2.gem --local == LICENSE: (The MIT License) Copyright (c) 2008 FIX Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the 'Software'), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
