Setup

Server-side

• see bootstrap.sh for basic server configuration

Where I cheated:

• using vagrant user for deploys
• using sqlite3 in production
• secrets are in repo (but part of server provisioning)

App-side

• refer to Gemfile for dependencies
• bundle exec cap install
• customize Capfile, config/deploy.rb, and config/deploy/.rb as needed

Deploying

• cap <env> deploy

Rollback

• cap <env> deploy:rollback

Custom tasks

• see lib/capistrano/tasks/uptime.rake
