A web-based interface for Capistrano

Capsize-- Trackable, Web-based Capistrano Deployments

About

Capsize is a web-based GUI for managing Capistrano deployments. Capsize allows you to override configuration variables associated with a project on a per environment basis, so you can customize deployment targets based on environments like production, stage, test, and development.

Capsize will also allow you to create different user accounts with permission grants to deploy different projects. You may also include custom recipes and export Capfiles to be run from the command-line.

Installation

1. Clone

git clone [e-mail]:webonise/capsize.git

2. Dependencies

Install all gem dependencies via the gem bundler:

> bundle install

3. Configuration

Copy config/capsize_config.rb.sample to config/capsize_config.rb and edit appropriatly.
In this configuration file you can set the mail settings of Capsize.

Generate a file (config/initializers/session_store.rb) with a random secret used to secure session data :

> bundle exec rake generate_session_store

4. Database

Copy config/database.yml.sample to config/database.yml and edit to point to the relational database of your choice. You need at least the production database defined in your yml. The others are optional entries for development and testing.

Then create the database structure with Rake:

> bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production

5. Start Capsize

> bundle exec thin -e production start

Capsize is then available at http://host:3000/

The default user is admin, the password is admin.
Please change the password after the first login.
