Heh, I only did that since I had to keep rebuilding the box over and over and building Ruby 2.0 each time wasted a good 10 min or so. That actual version needs a little manual work each time before everything will work so I wouldn't recommend using it. I'll update it to a clean version today if I get a chance.

I'm glad it could help, I wasn't able to find the right blueprint for this specific combo for some reason so it took me a good week to put together and get each piece full working as I'm in learning mode, too. Perhaps we found inspiration for my first blog post, too.

Thanks a lot, Dan!

That is a great blueprint for starters. Interesting to see that you bundle up the Ruby version with the basebox. I'll guess it is the most stable approach, since having a Ruby environment manager on top of the basebox is part of my headaches (and it is a habit which is might not be needed with VMs)

I'll try your combination and let you know how it goes.

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 ?
