Capistrano support?

[kjakub]

Did anybody deploy this application with capistrano?

[rap1ds]

Not that I know, at least we at Sharetribe do not use Capistrano.

[kjakub]

That is a bit pity, what you think? Probably you have it in to-do list? What is your best receipt to update code on production machine then?

[rap1ds]

That's not in our todo-list. We're using Heroku for hosting and there is a rake task to do the deployment to Heroku. It works really well for us with no down-time.

I'm not very familiar with Capistrano. What do you think, what kind of benefits would it bring to us?

[kjakub]

In comparison with your rake task which do deployment to heroku - then nothing much :-) So it would bring benefits to non-heroku hosting. Yes i am also not capistrano expert, but i am lazy and use capistrano for every deployment. For now i am playing with sharetribe on local, soon i will be playing with deployment to staging. I hope i will be able to share some hints with sharetribe community.

Thanks for information! Even though sharetribe.com is hosted on Heroku, we do want supports non-Heroku environments as well. If you think Capistrano would help in those cases, we are definitely open for improvement suggestions :)

I've been trying for literally weeks to get Capistrano to work for Sharetribe, I get so close, but then something breaks. Trying Mina now to see if it is a Capistrano problem. I just tried to run 'bundle exec rails console' and even that doesn't work, so I'm going to file an issue separate for that.

I'm almost at the point that I could write a non-heroku deployment guide.

i am sorry to hear that, but have you tried https://github.com/sharetribe/sharetribe/blob/master/docs/vps-deployment.md ?

@kjakub Hi, I am also using capistrano, I need to deploy following command in staging or production

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake ts:index
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake ts:start
RAILS_ENV=production NODE_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile
Invoke the delayed job worker:
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake jobs:work

[kjakub]

@vivek2007 commands seems correct, however not sure where the file https://github.com/sharetribe/sharetribe/blob/master/docs/vps-deployment.md go, too long time ago and i have not been around since. But i was able to find this https://github.com/kjakub/sharetribe/blob/fd1e7b4f8b4efac656c806b1fc5569fdedf93ce9/docs/vps-deployment.md

@kjakub, Hi my request and question is, sometimes search not working and mail notifications not workng in that cases we need to run bundle exec rake jobs:work and ts:index

but how to run those commads from local system

[kjakub]

something like that from you local machine, but your email issue is related somewhere else

[vivek2007]

@kjakub, need to add rake tasks in deploy.rb or not required ?

[kjakub]

no, you should just run those capistrano tasks
