[chef] Re: deploy resource and capistrano

[Spike Grobstein < >]

What we do is duplicate a lot of the `deploy:setup` task from Capistrano in Chef (creation of directories), and add a little more in (creation of configuration files for the given application/environment) and then do a manual `HOSTS="new-server.example.com" cap deploy` after that completes.

I've been trying to figure out if it would be better to also duplicate the entire deployment process from Capistrano to get a fresh copy of the app deployed to the new server, but something about it just feels wrong, so we've stuck with the manual process.

They both symlink the current directory so I'd imagine the most recent one ran would take it over, no?

I've used the deploy resource to set up the initial directory then deployed changes afterwards with Capistrano

Can app deploys via the deploy resource be setup such that capistrano deploys can work there also ?
