Documentation

Capistrano Docker Deployment strategy

This gem allows you to deploy a pre-built docker image of a rails app and associated dependendent images.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'capistrano-docker-deploy', require: false

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install capistrano-docker-deploy

Usage

It is assumed that capistrano is already set up on the project, and that a docker repository exists that holds images for deployment (and that it can be accessed)

Options

Name Default Value Type Description
:database_image nil String Image to use for the database. Set to nil for external database server
:docker_image_tag latest String Docker tag to deploy
:docker_labels [] Array[String] Labels to apply to the docker container (eg for Traefik)
:docker_network nil String Network to attach docker container to
:docker_options --log-opt max-size=200m String Additional docker options to start containers with
:docker_registry nil String Docker registry from which to pull your image (if not the Docker Hub)
:docker_registry_user nil String Docker registry username (for :docker_registry)
:docker_registry_password nil String Docker registry password (for :docker_registry)
:docker_registry_image nil String Docker registry image
:database_url "postgres://postgres@#{fetch(:slug)}-db/#{fetch(:application)}" String Database URL
:environment_variables [] Array[String] Environment variables to pass through from the deployer to the docker container
:exposed_ports [] Array[String] Ports for docker to expose
:slug "#{fetch(:application)}-#{fetch(:stage)}" String Name for the docker container

Additional configuration settings

The server method can take two further parameters:

Name Description
reset_on_deploy Perform a rake db:reset on deployment
migrate_on_deploy Perform a rake db:migrate on deployment

To ensure migrations run once and only once, set one server running the Rails application as having the db role and set primary: true on it.

To use with Gitlab CI:

Set the following options in config/deploy.rb:

set :docker_registry, ENV.fetch('CI_REGISTRY')
set :docker_registry_user, ENV.fetch('CI_REGISTRY_USER')
set :docker_registry_password, ENV.fetch('CI_REGISTRY_PASSWORD')
set :docker_registry_image, ENV.fetch('CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE')

For other CD/CI environments, refer to their specific documentation.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
