You’ll have to bear with me as I’m not a Ruby dev, but have inherited a Ruby system.

I need to deploy some changes to the app from my repository to the server. I’ve been instructed to run cap deploy and told that that script will get the latest code from my repository and deploy it to the server.

My problem is that I have to VPN to get to the production server and the VPN client then blocks access to my local network, cutting off the repository. So my question is, how can I change my deploy.rb so that I can deploy from my local machine instead? Or is there a better way.

If you need to see the deploy.rb, please let me know.

Thanks

Dave

    The solution I’ve used before means adding:

    set :deploy_via, :copy

    However, it may be better to read more about this at:
