Rails

Overview:

Capistrano::Rails is a set of Rails-specific tasks for Capistrano v3 that provide functionality for tasks such as deployment, asset compilation, and migrations within a Ruby on Rails application. This tool streamlines the deployment process and ensures that common Rails tasks are handled efficiently.

Features:

• Deployment Tasks: Includes tasks like cap deploy:migrate and cap deploy:compile_assets for managing deployment and asset compilation processes.

• Configuration File Generation: Allows the automatic generation of a basic set of configuration files using a command-line generator.

• Rails-specific Options: Enables customization of Rails-specific options in the config/deploy.rb file for fine-tuning deployment settings.

• Symlinking Shared Files: Facilitates the symlinking of shared directories like log, tmp, and public/uploads for efficient file management during deployment.

• Separation of Concerns: Recommends setting the role to :app instead of :db for database-related tasks to promote a better separation of concerns and optimized deployment workflow.

• Master Key Upload: Provides configuration settings to upload the master.key file to the server if it's not already present, ensuring secure deployment practices.

• Contributing Guidelines: Offers clear contribution guidelines including forking, creating feature branches, committing changes, and submitting pull requests.
