Caphook

Caphook is a simple Sinatra app to execute Capistrano tasks via HTTP calls.

Installation

$ git clone [email protected]:konsti/caphook.git

• Create config/caphook.yml according to your needs. Look at config/caphook.yml.sample for help.

• Install Riak with localhost access

  $ bundle install

Dependencies

• Ruby (> 1.9.3)
• Riak (> 1.1.2)

Server

$ thin start -R config.ru -d -p 4567

You can also create a Profile and use foreman (included in the Gemfile)

Use Caphook

Now you're able to deploy your project with HTTP calls

GET /cap/{project_name}?command={cap_command_included_in_config}

Optional Param:

user={user_string}

You can also view your log files with

GET /logs

TODOs

• Caphook requires all Capistrano dependencies of the target projects in his Gemfile. This needs to be fixed, so that Caphook loads the target project bundle and calls the 'cap' command correctly. Pull Requests welcomed.
