OSCON2006: Capistrano

A month or so ago we talked about how to script deployments. We do Java, Ruby and Python deployments. We sort of had some ideas but came up blank.

Capistrano, a ruby app, uses ssh and relies on posix commands, so it will work on pretty much anything other than windows. I went to the session, which was well attended. The guys have done a lot of work on it and emphasise that, while it is great for Rails, it is also well suited to all sorts of deployments.

I think this may be worth a look.

Capistrano works on Windows if you install Cygwin.
