Deploy Magic

Recieves POST request from Github, then pulls changes, migrates the DB and restarts the application.

Useage

1. Clone the application: git clone git://github.com/iamsolarpowered/deploy_magic

2. Copy the example configuration file to config.yml: cp config.yml.EXAMPLE config.yml

3. Edit config.yml as needed

4. Configure Apache (with Passenger), pointing to /path/to/app/public, or start the server by running ruby /path/to/app/start_server.rb

5. Setup Post-Recieve URL to hit username:password@urlofapp.com/name_of_repo (see github.com/guides/post-receive-hooks)

That’s it. Now, when you push to the Github repo, the changes will be pulled to the server, any new migrations will be run, and the app will be restarted. Instant, painless deployment.
