capistrano-redeploy

A dangerous recipe that overwrites your running application.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'capistrano-redeploy'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install capistrano-redeploy

THIS RECIPE MAY CORRUPT YOUR RUNNING APPLICATION. TAKE SPECIAL CARE FOR YOUR CONFIGURATION/OPERATION.

The capistrano-redeploy will try to perform following actions.

1. Deploy application to temporary directory on remote servers
2. Copy sources from temporary directory to running application

To enable capistrano-redeploy, add require line in your config/deploy.rb.

# config/deploy.rb
require "capistrano-redeploy"

Then, you can overwrite running application. By default, files in public will be overwritten on redeployment.

% cap redeploy

There are some options to configure redeployment for your application.

• :redeploy_path - The directory to redeploy to. Use :current_release by default.
• :redeploy_children - The list of directories to redeploy. Use ["public"] by default.
• :redeploy_exclusions - The exclude list for redeployment. Use ["assets", "system"] by default.
• :redeploy_variables - Supplimental variables for redeployment. See Examples for usage.
• :redeploy_use_assets - Invoke assets:precompile after redeploy. Disabled by default.

Redeploy files in public (except public/assets and public/system) from external repository.

# config/deploy.rb
set :scm, :git
set :deploy_via, :copy
set :repository, "git://example.com/example.git"
set :redeploy_children, ["public"]
set :redeploy_exclusions, ["assets", "system"]

Redeploy files in public (except public/assets and public/system) from current directory.

# config/deploy.rb
set :scm, :git
set :deploy_via, :copy
set :repository, "git://example.com/example.git"
set :redeploy_variables, {
  :scm => :none,
  :deploy_via => :copy,
  :repository => ".", # redeploy from current directory
}
set :redeploy_children, ["public"]
set :redeploy_exclusions, ["assets", "system"]

Redeploy files in src/main/webapp from current directory to target/webapp/WEB-INF.

# config/deploy.rb
set :scm, :git
set :deploy_via, :copy
set :repository, "git://example.com/example.git"
set :redeploy_variables, {
  :scm => :none,
  :deploy_via => :copy,
  :repository => ".", # redeploy from current directory
  :copy_cache => nil,
}
set :redeploy_source, "src/main/webapp"
set :redeploy_destination, "target/webapp/WEB-INF"
set :redeploy_children, ["."]
set :redeploy_exclusions, ["WEB-INF/web.xml"]
