Clickistrano is a simple Sinatra app for performing Capistrano deployments using a simple web interface. Clickistrano might be useful for you if:
- You have members of your team who need to run deployments, but don't keep a copy of your source checked out (e.g. product managers, QA engineers).
- You deploy using environment tasks (e.g.
cap qa deploy) - You use Github or your own private server for source control hosting.
Clickistrano isn't currently published as a gem, since I see little advantage in doing so. Just pick a good directory for the server, and check it out:
$ git clone http://github.com/outoftime/clickistrano.git
Clickistrano is configured with a config.yml file in the root directory.
It requires the following keys:
If you're running this on a new machine, you will need to add the machine's SSH public key to your deployment environment.
To start clickistrano as a daemon, run the following from the clickistrano directory:
$ thin start -R config.ru -d
There is also a sample init script in example/clickistrano.sh
- capistrano
- escape
- json
- open4
- rack
- sinatra
- thin
- grit (local adapter only)
When you access the front page (by default, localhost:4567 - see the Sinatra
docs for how to change that), you are presented with a simple form asking for
the git branch to deploy from. When the form is submitted, Clickistrano
downloads the Capfile and config/deploy.rb files
from the specified branch of your repository on GitHub, and then forks a process
that runs the deployment. The web interface redirects to a page showing the
deployment status and a live-updating view of the deployment log.
