Capistrano tasks for automating `backup folders` for Rails 4+ apps.

Capistrano::backup

Capistrano tasks for handling database backups when deploying Rails 4+ apps.

Install

Add this to Gemfile:

group :development do
  gem 'capistrano', '~> 3.2.1'
  gem 'capistrano-backup', '~> 1.0.0'
end

And then:

$ bundle install

Setup and usage

• populate database configuration config/backup/models/my_file.rb:

  -- as documented in: backup gem

• add to Capfile:

    require 'capistrano/backup'
  

• create shared/config/backup files on the remote server by executing this task:

    $ bundle exec cap production setup
  

You can now proceed with other deployment tasks.

What if a backup config is altered?

• update the local shared/config/backup:

  • re-run the setup task

How it works

When you execute $ bundle exec production setup:

• backup files from your local config/backup are copied to the server.
  
• on the server backup folder is located in #{shared_path}/config/backup/

On deployment:

• config/backup folder is automatically symlinked to #{current_path}/config/backups/

Configuration

None.
