Capistrano Django

A set of tasks built ontop of Capistrano to assist with Django deployments

example config file:

set :application, 'app_name'
set :scm, :git
set :repo_url, '[email protected]:username/repo_name.git'
set :django_settings_dir, 'app_name/settings'
set :pip_requirements, 'requirements/base.txt'
set :keep_releases, 5
set :nginx, true
set :deploy_to, '/www/app_name.com'
set :wsgi_file, 'app_name.wsgi'
set :npm_tasks, {:grunt => 'do_something', :gulp => 'something_else'}
set :stage, :production
set :django_settings, 'production'
role :web, "[email protected]"

Ordinarily, capistrano-django builds a separate virtualenv per-deploy.

If you include:

set :shared_virtualenv, true

in your configuration file, it will instead create a virtualenv in the shared_path, and symlink it into the release path. It will build it via requirements only when they differ from those of the last release.
