All examples here for deploy RoR application with unicorn, staging machine (where we deploys) available via ssh by ssh_key.

1. Deploy via remote_cache:

    require 'rvm/capistrano'
    require 'bundler/capistrano'
   
    set :application, '_proj_'
    set :rails_env, 'production'
    set :domain, '_user@your_deploy_domain_'
    set :deploy_to, "_path_to_#{application}"
    set :use_sudo, false
    set :unicorn_conf, "#{deploy_to}/current/config/unicorn.rb"

Install capistrano:

add to Gemfile

  group :development do
      gem 'capistrano'
      gem 'rvm-capistrano'
  end

Then cd to project root folder and run:

bundle install
capify .

setup your config/deploy.rb file, here some useful examples

cap deploy:setup #before first deploy
cap deploy:check #before first deploy
cap deploy:cold  # for first deploy
cap deploy #for subsequent deploys
