Where do you put your app-config-files when deploying rails with capistrano and svn

问题

I have two config-files

/app/config/database.yml

and

/app/config/userconfig.yml

i don't want to put the database credentials and userconfig in the svn-repository, so i have database.yml.dist and userconfig.yml.dist checked in.

What is the best way to get copys of the dist-files in the shared-directory when deploying the app for the first time?

For later deploys i'll link to them from /app/current/config

回答1:

You should place your config files in

/path/to/deployed_app/shared

Then in a capistrano task, sym link to those files:

namespace :deploy do
  task :symlink_shared do
    run "ln -s #{shared_path}/database.yml #{release_path}/config/"
  end
end

before "deploy:restart", "deploy:symlink_shared"

回答2:

In Capistrano v3, you can use a task called deploy:symlink:shared.

Provide a list of files you placed in the shared directory, so Capistrano knows which files to symlink when the task is run. This is typically done in deploy.rb:

set :linked_files, %w{
  app/config/database.yml
  app/config/userconfig.yml
}
