Capistrano, Debian 8 systemctl


I want to use capistrano 3 to deploy my web-application on my vps. Unfortunately, I get some errors:

DEBUG [6de1d411] Running [ -L /var/www/myapp/releases/20160405125654/log ] as [email protected]

As far I read, these failed test are ok, since it only checks existence of symlinks and directories. But the following is somehow the game-breaker:

INFO [c1b0c10e] Finished in 0.007 seconds with exit status 0 (successful).

Obviously, Debian jessie relies on systemctl instead of service, since

/usr/bin/env service

does really not exists. No, I want to overwrite the default behaviour by adding

namespace :unicorn do

  task :defaults do
    on roles :app do
      set :unicorn_user, fetch(:unicorn_user, deploy_user)
    end
  end

  desc 'Setup Unicorn initializer'
  task :setup_initializer do
    on roles :app do
      next if file_exists? unicorn_initd_file
      sudo_upload! template('unicorn_init.erb'), unicorn_initd_file
      execute :chmod, '+x', unicorn_initd_file
      sudo 'update-rc.d', '-f', fetch(:unicorn_service), 'defaults'
    end
  end

  desc 'Setup Unicorn app configuration'
  task :setup_app_config do
    on roles :app do
      next if file_exists? fetch(:unicorn_config)
      execute :mkdir, '-pv', File.dirname(fetch(:unicorn_config))
      upload! template('unicorn.rb.erb'), fetch(:unicorn_config)
    end
  end

  %w[start stop restart].each do |command|
    desc "#{command} unicorn"
    task command do
      on roles :app do
        # execute :service, fetch(:unicorn_service), command
        # run "#{sudo} systemctl #{command} unicorn_#{application}"
        sudo "/etc/init.d/unicorn_#{fetch(:unicorn_service)} #{command}"
      end
    end
  end

  before :setup_initializer, :defaults

end

to /myapp/config/deploy.rb. But capistrano ignores this settings. So how can I ensure, that a Debian-8-specific config is loaded.


Solution

  • I'm not familiar with unicorn, but I assume you're using something which is defining the cap tasks, which you're then trying to override? If that's the case, with Capistrano 3 you'd need to clear the original task before you redefine it. What you're doing currently extends the tasks. You'd need to use Rake::Task["task_name"].clear something like this:

    namespace :unicorn do
      %w[start stop restart].each do |command|
        Rake::Task["unicorn:#{command}"].clear
    
        desc "#{command} unicorn"
        task command do
          on roles :app do
            # execute :service, fetch(:unicorn_service), command
            # run "#{sudo} systemctl #{command} unicorn_#{application}"
            sudo "/etc/init.d/unicorn_#{fetch(:unicorn_service)} #{command}"
          end
        end
      end
    end
