Created a new setup_config task that should be run the first time you setup your server. This fixes the missing database.yml file, and setups the missing log directories in your Rails app. Also creates a helper method that checks if a remote_file exists. # config/deploy.rb before 'deploy:db:symlink_db', 'deploy:setup_config' def remote_file_exists?(full_path) 'true' == capture("if [ -e #{full_path} ]; then echo 'true'; fi").strip end namespace :deploy do task :setup_config do run " https://dchua.com/posts/2013-07-23-how-to-redis-from-source-to-daemon/ Tue, 23 Jul 2013 00:00:00 +0000 https://dchua.com/posts/2013-07-23-how-to-redis-from-source-to-daemon/ Make sure you have a server. I’d recommend spinning up an Amazon EC2 instance. Grab the latest redis. At this point of writing, it is: $ wget http://redis.googlecode.com/files/redis-2.6.14.tar.gz $ tar xzf redis-2.6.14.tar.gz $ cd redis-2.6.14 You can do this in any directory, I recommend making a tmp/ directory in your home directory. Run a make and make test! $ make && make test Copy the redis/* content into a accessible folder. https://dchua.com/posts/2013-07-17-whenever-easy-cronnable-rake-tasks-with-capistrano/ Wed, 17 Jul 2013 00:00:00 +0000 https://dchua.com/posts/2013-07-17-whenever-easy-cronnable-rake-tasks-with-capistrano/ We all have this problem before. Attempting to write a crontab that runs a rake task is almost a painful endeavor. Especially if you’re running a ruby version manager like RVM. Luckily, this crontab DSL gem, “Whenever”, created by Javan, helps make things so much easier. To get started, make sure you have whenever in your Gemfile: #Gemfile gem 'whenever' Then, run wheneverize: /home/myapp$ wheneverize . This will create your config/scheduler. https://dchua.com/posts/2013-07-16-taps-an-easy-way-to-quickly-migrate-data-to-remote-databases/ Tue, 16 Jul 2013 00:00:00 +0000 https://dchua.com/posts/2013-07-16-taps-an-easy-way-to-quickly-migrate-data-to-remote-databases/ If you’ve been using Heroku, you probably have already seen taps at work. $ heroku db:pull $ heroku db:push Looks familar? Well that’s basically runs on taps. An open-source implementation for database migration that Heroku released to the open-source community. 8 May 2014 Update: Theres an updated gem called taps-taps which fixes a couple of bugs migrating from MySQL to SQLite3 after the original gem was abandoned by the developers. https://dchua.com/posts/2013-07-14-loading-deployassets-in-capistrano-automatically-precompilesassets/ Sun, 14 Jul 2013 00:00:00 +0000 https://dchua.com/posts/2013-07-14-loading-deployassets-in-capistrano-automatically-precompilesassets/ Something that I’ve just figured out after tinkering for a couple of hours. Hope this will save someone else some trouble. So I’m running my own custom Capistrano script that on fresh deploy setup a symlink of database.yml on the app instance, so that you don’t need to check in your database.yml file. So in my config/deploy.rb, I have something like: after 'deploy:update_code', 'deploy:symlink_db', 'deploy:assets:precompile' . . . . desc " https://dchua.com/posts/2013-05-28-deploying-node-js-on-nginx-with-capistranocapper/ Tue, 28 May 2013 00:00:00 +0000 https://dchua.com/posts/2013-05-28-deploying-node-js-on-nginx-with-capistranocapper/ The other day on a single-day internal hackathon, together with Ernest and the rest of the One Cent Movement guys, we decided to do up an internal check-in mobile webapp where we can see where each of us were at anytime of the day. This is a simple guide to deploy your node.js app onto a production server. Which in my case is an Amazon EC2 m1.small instance. Pre-requsite: NPM is assumed to be the defacto package manager. https://dchua.com/posts/2013-03-23-ubuntu-12-10-nginxpassengerrails/ Sat, 23 Mar 2013 00:00:00 +0000 https://dchua.com/posts/2013-03-23-ubuntu-12-10-nginxpassengerrails/ Created a new AMI image. Click away. It runs: RVM Ruby 1.9.2 Nginx (/opt/nginx) Passenger Its comes with an 8GB Elastic Block Storage (EBS) instance. So if you’re planning to run a ruby/rails webserver, I hope this saves you time!

In order to speed up assets:precompile on passenger production, add the following to config/deploy.rb: namespace :deploy do namespace :assets do task :precompile, :roles => :web, :except => { :no_release => true } do from = source.next_revision(current_revision) if capture("cd #{latest_release}&& #{source.local.log(from)}vendor/assets/ app/assets/ | wc -l").to_i > 0 run %Q{cd #{latest_release}&& #{rake}RAILS_ENV=#{rails_env}#{asset_env}assets:precompile} else logger.info "Skipping asset pre-compilation because there were no asset changes" end end end end Alt: set :max_asset_age, 2 ## Set asset age in minutes to test modified date against. https://dchua.com/posts/2012-01-07-some-tips-to-deploying-rubber-powered-ec2-rails-apps/ Sat, 07 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://dchua.com/posts/2012-01-07-some-tips-to-deploying-rubber-powered-ec2-rails-apps/ I’ve been playing around with Rubber, the EC2 deployment script for Rails lately and I’ve spent a huge amount of time trying to get it to work. Here are some of my notes: To setup: # Put this into Gemfile gem rubber Vulcanize!
