Pushing to the development and production servers

Setting up the deployment server

The server is set up as described in this tutorial: https://gorails.com/deploy/ubuntu/16.04 (The GoRails guide to deploying Ruby on Rails (on DigitalOcean) )

Pushing to the development server:

• uses CI set up via semaphore (github hook)

  • need to see what that is;
    • what is set?
    • is the standard Semaphore build settings and script used or are there any additional settings?
    • what is Rails.env ?

• happens whenever a github PR is merged into the develop branch

Deploying to the production server:

• setting up the system ('droplet') on DigitalOcean

  • must set up swap space otherwise it may run out of memory and kill the compilation process

    see the tutorial for setting up a swap file on DigitalOcean

• uses config/deploy.rb and Capfile

  • how is APP_PATH set?

• happens when....?
