Ansible Rails

Adapted from https://github.com/radar/ansible-rails-app

Installed Software

• Ruby 2.1
• PostgreSQL
• nginx
• Puma (jungle)

Configuration

1. Change the app name and deploy directory in vars/defaults.yml
2. Rename hosts.example to hosts and change it to your hosts. For Homebrew's ansible, this defaults to /usr/local/etc/ansible/hosts

Running

If you're using vagrant to create the box, please use the insecure SSH key --private-key= ~/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key in the ansible-playbook command.

$ ansible-playbook -i hosts rails-app.yml -t deploy,postgresql,nginx
$ <deploy your app>
$ ansible-playbook -i hosts rails-app.yml -t puma

There is an example Capistrano deploy.rb in this repository that you can use too.
