6. Latest server configs

Tell nginx about capistrano app folder

/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

server {
        listen 80 default_server;
        listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;

        # server_name mydomain.com;
        server_name localhost;
        passenger_enabled on;
        rails_env    production;
        root         /home/deployer/awesomeapp/current/public;

        # redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
        error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
        location = /50x.html {
            root   html;
        }
}

Create Linked files

/home/deployer/awesomewapp/shared/config/database.yml

pg: &pg
  adapter: postgresql
  encoding: unicode
  username: pgadmin
  password: secret
  host: localhost
  pool: 5

production:
  <<: *pg
  database: awesomeapp_prod

/home/deployer/awesomewapp/shared/config/secrets.yml

production:
  secret_key_base: <%= ENV["SECRET_KEY_BASE"] %>

7. Deploy

cap production deploy
cap production deploy:restart
cap -T
