Capistrano::ForemanSystemd

This is heavily based on the capistrano-foreman gem but it only targets systemd (default init system for Ubuntu since 16.04). It works best with foreman-systemd (fork of 0.78 version of foreman gem).

Installation

gem 'capistrano', '~> 3.1'
gem 'capistrano-foreman-systemd'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install capistrano-foreman-systemd

Usage

Require in Capfile:

require 'capistrano/foreman_systemd'

Export Procfile to process management format (defaults to upstart) and restart the application services:

$ cap foreman_systemd:setup
$ cap foreman_systemd:start

Configurable options, shown here with defaults:

set :foreman_systemd_roles, :all
set :foreman_systemd_export_format, 'systemd'
set :foreman_systemd_export_path, '/etc/init'
set :foreman_systemd_flags, "--root=#{current_path}" # optional, default is empty string
set :foreman_systemd_target_path, release_path
set :foreman_systemd_app, -> { fetch(:application) }
set :foreman_systemd_concurrency, 'web=2,worker=1' # optional, default is not set
set :foreman_systemd_log, -> { shared_path.join('log') }
set :foreman_systemd_port, 3000 # optional, default is not set
set :foreman_systemd_user, 'www-data' # optional, default is not set

See exporting options for an exhaustive list of foreman options.

Tasks

This gem provides the following Capistrano tasks:

foreman_systemd:setup exports the Procfile and starts application services
foreman_systemd:export exports the Procfile to process management format
foreman_systemd:enable enables the application in systemd
foreman_systemd:disable disables the application in systemd
foreman_systemd:restart restarts the application services
foreman_systemd:start starts the application services
foreman_systemd:stop stops the application services

User permissions

Commands have to be executed with root or user with sudo writes because foreman:setup creates files in /etc/systemd/system directory.

Example

Configuration in deploy.rb:

# Set the app with `sites/` prefix
set :foreman_app, -> { fetch(:application) }

# Set user to `deploy`, assuming this is your deploy user
set :foreman_user, 'deploy'

# Set root to `current_path` so exporting only have to be done once.
set :foreman_flags, "--root=#{current_path}"

Setup your init scripts by running foreman:setup after your first deploy. From this moment on you only have to run foreman:setup when your Procfile has changed or when you alter the foreman deploy configuration.

Finally you have to instruct Capistrano to run foreman:restart after deploy:

You can control which process runs on which servers using server variable foreman_systemd_concurrency:

server '123.123.123.1', { roles: [:web], foreman_systemd_concurrency: 'web=1,sidekiq=1' }
server '123.123.123.1', { roles: [:web], foreman_systemd_concurrency: 'web=1,sidekiq=0' }

Finally

# Hook foreman restart after publishing
after :'deploy:publishing', :'foreman:restart'

Notes

When using rbenv, rvm, chruby and/or bundler don't forget to add foreman to the bins list:

fetch(:rbenv_map_bins, []).push 'foreman'
fetch(:rvm_map_bins, []).push 'foreman'
fetch(:chruby_map_bins, []).push 'foreman'
fetch(:bundle_bins, []).push 'foreman'
