Capistrano::Locally

This gem is a Capistrano plugin to simplify "localhost" deployment.

Capistrano can deploy the source to any hosts including localhost via SSH (SSHKit::Backend::Netssh). But when limiting to some simple case that deployment to localhost, SSH isn't sometimes necessary.

A capistrano-locally deploys without SSH only when a target host named "localhost"

So, you don't need to write SSH user and configs on server 'localhost'.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'capistrano-locally', require: false

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install capistrano-locally

Usage

Require in Capfile:

require 'capistrano/locally'

Example

config/deploy/staging_and_local.rb

# typically server config is:
server 'my.remotehost.com', roles: %w{app web}, user: 'deploy', key: '/path/to/key.pem'
# localhost config is:
server 'localhost', roles: %w{app web} # no need to set SSH configs.
