Capistrano 3 sudo task

Question

I want to write a recipe with Capistrano 3 executing a task on the remote server with sudo.

With Capistrano 2 this could be done for example:

default_run         


        

Answer 1

The Capistrano 3 guide recommends the use of passwordless sudo. This allows your less-priveleged user execute the sudo command without having to enter a password via the PTY.

You can use the task that Kentaro wrote above, and add something like the following to your /etc/sudoers file:

deploy ALL=NOPASSWD:/bin/cp ~/something /something
