Capistrano is an open-source tool used for automating the deployment process of web applications. It enables developers to deploy applications to remote servers with ease, without having to manually perform a series of tasks. In this tutorial, we'll go through the steps to install Capistrano on NixOS Latest.
To install Capistrano on NixOS Latest, you'll need the following:
Capistrano is built using the Ruby programming language, so you'll need to install Ruby on your NixOS Latest system. You can do this using the Nix package manager by running the following command:
$ sudo nix-env -i ruby
This will install the latest version of Ruby. You can verify the installation by running the following command, which should print out the installed version of Ruby:
$ ruby -v
Now that you have Ruby installed, you can install Capistrano using the gem command. Run the following command:
$ gem install capistrano
This will install the latest version of Capistrano. You can verify the installation by running the following command, which should print out the installed version of Capistrano:
$ cap --version
To use Capistrano, you'll need to create a configuration file for your project. This file specifies the details of the remote server(s) to which you'll be deploying your application. You can create a new configuration file by running the following command:
$ cap install
This will create a config/deploy.rb file in your project directory. You can edit this file to specify the details of your remote servers.
In this tutorial, we've gone through the steps to install Capistrano on NixOS Latest, as well as configuring it for your project. With Capistrano installed, you can now automate your deployment process and save time and effort in the future.
