You can treat Fulcrum like a typical Rails application, which generally
means you'll need to perform the following tasks:
- Pull the changes
- Run `rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production`
- Restart the app, either by restarting Apache or `touch
tmp/restart.txt` within the Fulcrum project directory.
The db:migrate task will make any necessary changes to the database
structure since your last pull, but should leave all the data untouched.
To be safe, ensure you have a full backup of your database and the
files before you begin.
For long term maintenance it's well worth setting up capistrano for your
own deployment environments, it is a little extra leg work to begin with
but simplifies matters in the long run.
