NGiNX recipe for Vlad the Deployer

gem install vlad-nginx

Vlad.load :app => :unicorn, :scm => :git, :web => :nginx

You specify the path to the NGiNX command by setting :web_command:

set :web_command, "/path/to/nginx"

As I am writing this, both Vlads’ built-in apache recipe and vlad-nginx use run to run the remote commands. This means you need to do some trickery in order to have run your command under sudo:

Vlad.load :web => :nginx

set :run_as_sudo, [sudo_cmd, sudo_flags].flatten.compact.join(' ')
set :web_command, "#{run_as_sudo} /path/to/nginx"
