Deploy with Rsync to your server from any local (or remote) repository when using Mina.
Saves you from having to install Git on your production machine and allows you to customize which files you want to deploy. Also allows you to easily precompile things on your local machine before deploying.
- Suitable for deploying any apps, be it Ruby, Rails, Node.js or others.
- Exclude files from being deployed with Rsync's
--exclude
options. - Precompile files or assets easily before deploying, like JavaScript or CSS.
- Caches your previously deployed code to speed up deployments ~1337%.
- Currently works only with Git, so please shout out your interest in other SCMs.
Install with:
gem install mina-rsync
Require it at the top of your Minafile
(or config/deploy.rb
):
require "mina/rsync"
Set some rsync_options
to your liking:
set :rsync_options, %w[--recursive --delete --delete-excluded --exclude .git*]
Then invoke Mina::Rsync's tasks from your deploy
task:
task :deploy do
deploy do
invoke "rsync:deploy"
end
end
And after setting regular Mina options, deploy as usual!
mina deploy
- Clones and updates your repository to
rsync_stage
(defaults totmp/deploy
) on your local machine. - Checks out the branch set in the
branch
variable (defaults tomaster
). - Rsyncs to
rsync_cache
(defaults toshared/deploy
) on the server. - Copies the content of the cache directory to the build directory.
After that, Mina takes over and runs its usual tasks and symlinking.
If you don't want to deploy everything you've committed to your repository, pass some --exclude
options to Rsync:
set :rsync_options, %w[
--recursive --delete --delete-excluded
--exclude .git*
--exclude /config/database.yml
--exclude /test/***
]
Mina::Rsync runs rsync:stage
before rsyncing. Hook to that like this:
task :precompile do
Dir.chdir settings.rsync_stage do
system "rake", "assets:precompile"
end
end
task "rsync:stage" do
invoke "precompile"
end

Monday Calendar was the reason I needed this.
