Ansible: Ruby on Rails Server
Use this ansible playbook to setup a fresh server with the following components:
Rename hosts.example
to hosts
and modify the contents.
Rename group_vars/all.example
to group_vars/all
and modify the contentes.
There are a bunch of things you can set in group_vars/all
. Don't forget to add your host address to hosts
.
Run ansible-playbook site.yml -i hosts
.
This is just a loose guideline for what you need to deploy your app with this playbook and server config. Please keep in mind, that you need to modify some values depending on your setup (especially passwords and paths!)
Add the following gems to your Gemfile and install via bundle install
:
group :development do
gem 'capistrano', '~> 3.6'
gem 'capistrano-rails', '~> 1.2'
gem 'capistrano-chruby'
gem 'capistrano3-puma'
gem 'capistrano-sidekiq'
gem 'capistrano-npm'
end
Add the following lines to your Capfile:
# General
require 'capistrano/rails'
require 'capistrano/bundler'
require 'capistrano/rails/migrations'
require 'capistrano/rails/assets'
require 'capistrano/chruby'
require 'capistrano/npm'
# Puma
require 'capistrano/puma'
install_plugin Capistrano::Puma # Default puma tasks
install_plugin Capistrano::Puma::Workers # if you want to control the workers (in cluster mode)
# install_plugin Capistrano::Puma::Jungle # if you need the jungle tasks
install_plugin Capistrano::Puma::Monit # if you need the monit tasks
install_plugin Capistrano::Puma::Nginx # if you want to upload a nginx site template
# Sidekiq
require 'capistrano/sidekiq'
require 'capistrano/sidekiq/monit'
Please edit "deploy_app_name", "repo_url", "deploy_to" and "chruby_ruby" (if you've changed the Ruby version in group_vars/all
).
Your config/deploy.rb
should look similar to this example:
set :application, 'deploy_app_name'
set :repo_url, 'YOUR_GIT_REPO'
set :deploy_to, '/home/deploy/deploy_app_name'
set :chruby_ruby, 'ruby-2.3.3'
set :nginx_use_ssl, true
set :puma_init_active_record, true
set :linked_files, fetch(:linked_files, []).push('config/database.yml', 'config/secrets.yml')
set :linked_dirs, fetch(:linked_dirs, []).push('log', 'tmp/pids', 'tmp/cache', 'tmp/sockets', 'public/system')
set :keep_releases, 5
Add the target host:
server 'your_host_address', user: 'deploy', roles: %w{app db web}
