Manage rails deploys

puppet-rails

Allows you to manage your Rails deploys.

Setup environment

Use the rails::deploy resource type to add your application user and create your deploy path:

rails::deploy { 'my-app-name':
  deploy_path => '/var/www/rails',
  app_user    => 'rails',
}

This will setup add the user rails and create the directory /var/www/rails/my-app-name owned by rails. If var or /var/www do not exist, they will be created and owned by the deploy user.

database.yml

If relevant, you can manage the database.yml for your application by specifying the relevant parameters:

rails::deploy { 'my-app':
  rails_env         => 'staging',
  database_adapter  => 'mysql2',
  database_name     => 'my_app_db',
  database_host     => 'db.app.com',
  database_user     => 'rails_db',
  database_password => 'sekrit',
  database_charset  => 'latin1',
  database_pool     => 12,
}

Only database_adapter and database_password are required. The database_name defaults to the application name underscored.
