rex-apache-deploy is a (R)?ex module to deploy webservers.

You can find (R)?ex under http://rexify.org/

Usage

In your Rexfile use the following commands.

To build a package

use Rex::Apache::Build;
    
get_version_from "lib/MyApp.pm", qr{\$VERSION=([^;]+);};
   
task "build", sub {
   yui compress => glob("public/js/*.js"), glob("public/css/*.css");
       
   # build a package named like the directory
   # and append the version from get_version_from
   build;
         
   # build a package named myapp
   # and append the version from get_version_from
   build "myapp";
        
   # build a package named myapp and append the version 1.5
   build "myapp",
      version => "1.5";
       
   # build a package myapp, with version 1.5 and exclude some files
   # but use the path "./myapp" as package root
   build "myapp",
      version => "1.5",
      path    => "myapp",
      exclude => ["yuicompressor.jar", "README"];
};

To inject special configuration parameters for different environments

use Rex::Apache::Inject YAML;

template_file "inject.conf";
template_search_for "application.yml";

desc "Inject Configuration";
task "inject", sub {

  inject "myapp-1.0.tar.gz",
              pre_pack_hook => sub {
                 run "BUNDLE_PATH=vendor/bundle bundle install";
              },
              post_pack_hool => sub {
                 say "Hello, i'm the post pack hook\n";
              };

};

Deploy the package

deploy_to "/path/to/deploy/to";
document_root "/var/www/html";

# set this if your package format isn't
# packagename-version.file-suffix
# example: myapp-1.2.tar.gz
#          myapp-1.3.1.zip
#          myapp-1.3~1.tar.bz2
#          myapp-1.5.2_1.tar.bz2
generate_deploy_directory sub {
   return $VERSION;
};

desc "Deploy Package";
task "deploy", group => "fe", sub {
   # just deploy
   deploy;
        
   # or to deploy a specific package
   deploy "myapp-1.0.tar.gz";
};
