CapistranoDbTasks

Add database AND assets tasks to capistrano to a Rails project. It only works with capistrano 3. Older versions until 0.3 works with capistrano 2.

Currently

It only supports mysql and postgresql (both side remote and local)
Synchronize assets remote to local and local to remote

Commands mysql, mysqldump (or pg_dump, psql), bzip2 and unbzip2 must be in your PATH

Feel free to fork and to add more database support or new tasks.

Install

Add it as a gem:

    gem "capistrano-db-tasks", require: false

Add to config/deploy.rb:

    require 'capistrano-db-tasks'

    # if you haven't already specified
    set :rails_env, "production"

    # if you want to remove the local dump file after loading
    set :db_local_clean, true

    # if you want to remove the dump file from the server after downloading
    set :db_remote_clean, true

    # If you want to import assets, you can change default asset dir (default = system)
    # This directory must be in your shared directory on the server
    set :assets_dir, %w(public/assets public/att)
    set :local_assets_dir, %w(public/assets public/att)

    # if you want to work on a specific local environment (default = ENV['RAILS_ENV'] || 'development')
    set :locals_rails_env, "production"

    # if you are highly paranoid and want to prevent any push operation to the server
    set :disallow_pushing, true

Add to .gitignore

    /db/*.sql
