Hi there,
In work we were discussing the issues we occasionally come across
with deployments using capistrano, and wondered if there are any best
practices to solve them.
We are getting problems with Group and File permissions that we're
solving with the following two tasks... however we want to move to a
single deployment user that can be shared across the development
team, and we don't want to give that user sudo access. Any ideas out
there?
Group Permissions
We have found that when deploying applications that a lot of the
permission errors can be fixed by running the following;
desc "Change group to www-data"
task :chown_to_www-data, :roles => [ :app, :db, :web ] do
sudo "chown -R #{user}:www-data #{deploy_to}"
end
File Permissions
We have problems with the following folders, which are in subversion
(with their contents ignored).
#{current_path}/tmp
#{current_path}/log
#{current_path}/public/system
desc "Fix file permissions"
task :fix_file_permissions, :roles => [ :app, :db, :web ] do
sudo "chmod -R g+rw #{current_path}/tmp"
sudo "chmod -R g+rw #{current_path}/log"
sudo "chmod -R g+rw #{current_path}/public/system"
end
Best,
David Rice
