Capistrano::Locally

This gem is a Capistrano plugin to simplify "localhost" deployment.

Capistrano can deploy the source to any hosts including localhost via SSH (SSHKit::Backend::Netssh). But when limiting to some simple case that deployment to localhost, SSH isn't sometimes necessary.

A capistrano-locally deploys without SSH only when a target host named "localhost"

So, you don't need to write SSH user and configs on server 'localhost'.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'capistrano-locally', require: false

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install capistrano-locally

Usage

Require in Capfile:

require 'capistrano/locally'

Example

config/deploy/staging_and_local.rb

# typically server config is:
server 'my.remotehost.com', roles: %w{app web}, user: 'deploy', key: '/path/to/key.pem'
# localhost config is:
server 'localhost', roles: %w{app web} # no need to set SSH configs.

Options

:run_locally_with_unbundled_env (default: true)

Previous name is run_locally_with_clean_env. When using bundler, commands are executed in Bundler.with_unbundled_env by default so as not to affect the executable ruby scripts. To explicitly inherit environment variables, set this false.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
