Deploy non-rails application

[pepe]

Hello,
I'm using inploy for deploying rails application and it works
perfectly. But right now, I need to choose deploy strategy for non-
rails (sinatra) application. Do you thing it's possible to bend it
little (haven't looked to code too much) for this purpose. Don't want
you to push to it ;), just little expertise if it's possible, I would
try to figure it out myself if you would think it's easy/medium easy.

thanks for any thoughts on idea

Hi Pepe,

it should be really easy. Inploy has a support for 'templates'. A template is a module that overwrites methods, so you can have something like this for example:

module Inploy

  module Templates

    module Sinatra

      def after_update_code

         do_my_thing

      end

    end

  end

end

and then configure your deploy.rb something like this:

deploy.template = :sinatra

deloy.host = ...

deployst. ...

The method after_update_code if called every time the code is updated, so by default it inits the submodules, copies some file, install gems, etc... 

If you dont want to overwrite the entire method and just a part of it, the install gems and migrate database steps for example, you can define something like this:

module Inploy

  module Templates

    module Sinatra

      def install_gems

      end

      def migrate_database

      end

    end

  end

end

Hope that helps :)

Thanks for reply! I'll try it (right now bending bundler) and send a
message how it went.

Thanks again, it seems almost too easy ;).
