A sinatra app for deploying rack-compliant web apps

How?

Don't reinvent the wheel,use existing tools:

• nginx• phusion passenger• git• sinatra

nginx/passenger configuration>sudo gem install passenger>sudo passenger-install-nginx-module

server {listen 80;server_name bivouac.com www.bivouac.com;root /home/bivouac/current/public;passenger_enabled on;

}

server {listen 80;server_name *.bivouac.com;root /home/bivouac/apps/$host/public;passenger_enabled on;

}

git

• how we get our code on the server• hooks for restarting the site

Look in .git/hooks/ for samples

We use the post-receive hook

The Sinatra App

• one model – Sites• name:string• ssh_public_key:string

on Site creation

• create folder in webserver dir• git init .• create git post-receive hook• add key to authorized_keys• show git commands

post-receive hook

cd #{site.directory} && git --git-dir=`pwd`/.git reset –hard;

# Matches the working tree and index to that of the tree being switched to (defaults to HEAD).

touch #{site.directory}/tmp/restart.txt

# tells passenger to restart the site
