Capistrano is a tool that facilitates the deployment of web applications to servers. In this tutorial, we will be discussing how to install Capistrano on FreeBSD Latest.
Before installing Capistrano, you need to update the package repository on your FreeBSD system. To do this, run the following command:
sudo pkg update
Capistrano is written in Ruby, so we need to install Ruby first. We can install Ruby using the following command:
sudo pkg install ruby
This command will install the latest version of Ruby on your system. Alternatively, you can check the available versions of Ruby by running the following command:
sudo pkg search ruby
Once Ruby is installed, we can install Capistrano using the following command:
sudo gem install capistrano
This command will download and install the latest version of Capistrano on your system.
To verify that Capistrano is installed correctly, you can check the version of Capistrano using the following command:
cap --version
This command will show you the version of Capistrano that is installed on your FreeBSD system.
Before using Capistrano, you need to configure it for your project. You can do this by creating a Capfile in your project's directory and adding the necessary configuration.
For example, the following Capfile configures Capistrano to deploy a Ruby on Rails application:
# Capfile
require 'capistrano/rails'
set :application, 'my_app'
set :repo_url, 'git@github.com:username/my_app.git'
set :deploy_to, '/var/www/my_app'
set :linked_files, %w{config/database.yml .env}
set :linked_dirs, %w{bin log tmp/pids tmp/cache tmp/sockets vendor/bundle public/system}
set :keep_releases, 5
set :passenger_restart_with_touch, true
In this tutorial, we have covered how to install Capistrano on FreeBSD Latest. Now you can use Capistrano to easily deploy your web applications.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
