capistrano-nginx

This gem provides two capistrano tasks:

• nginx:setup -- creates /etc/nginx/sites-available/YOUR_APP and links it to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/YOUR_APP
• nginx:reload -- invokes /etc/init.d/nginx reload on server

And nginx configuration file generator, that will create local copy of default nginx config for customization.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'capistrano-nginx'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install capistrano-nginx

Usage

Add this to your config/deploy.rb file:

require 'capistrano/nginx/tasks'

Make sure, following variables are defined in your config/deploy.rb:

• application - application name
• server_name - your application's server_name in nginx (e.g. example.com)
• deploy_to - deployment path
• sudo_user - user name with sudo privileges (needed to config/restart nginx)

Launch new tasks:

$ cap nginx:setup
$ cap nginx:reload

Or you can add hook to call this tasks after deploy:setup. Add to your config/deploy.rb:

after "deploy:setup", "nginx:setup", "nginx:reload"

If you want to customize nginx configuration, just generate local nginx config before running nginx:setup:

$ rails generate capistrano:nginx:config

And then edit file config/deploy/nginx_conf.erb as you like.
