I am using the shovel deploy.rb from http://nubyonrails.com/pages/shovel I have SwitchTower-ized my app, copied the shovel deploy.rb file and put my settings in it.

I am just about to dive into Switchtower, but had a thought (go figure?). Could Switchtower use be inverted? Could user, clients, or customers install switchtower and "pull" applications? Just a thought. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi there, I''m having some difficulties finding some decent info on getting Switchtower to function for my needs. I''ve read most of the Switchtower doc on http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/97, however it''s not answering some potent questions I have. 1. The doc mentions, as an example, using an SVN repos at http://svn.switchtower.com/flipper/trunk What if I...

When I define :db to be a different server than either :web or :app, and run "rake deploy". Switchtower will abort with an Net::SSH::AuthenticationFailed error. The version of Switchtower I''m using is 1.0.0 and the deploy task is the default supplied with Switchtowe.

I just setup switchtower and I am very happy with it. Just one thing is giving me some headache: My development machine is windows and my deployment host is Unix. Each time I deploy I need to make dispatch.fcgi executable. I wrote my own task for that. But does there exist any smarter way to get this automated ? I think Su...

would it be possible to get another beta gem posted for switchtower? core rails has been getting nice regular updates to the beta gems, but switchtower is still back at 1962.

I use Switchtower to deploy my Ruby on Rails application, which works great. However, it appears to be doing a SVN checkout, which includes all the .svn directories as well. I would rather do an export from SVN. Is it possible to configure Switchtower to do this, or can I extend it in the deploy.rb? I haven'...

I''m trying to get switchtower to work with CVS. I see "querying latest revision..." and then it states "[update_code] transaction: rollback" I''m open to any and all suggestions at this point.

Hi I have a problem here. I am developing an application which has a local development environment (on my harddisk), a second one for my customer (for testing new features) and a production environment which runs actual application online. How can I setup SwitchTower to have a possibility to deploy just for a particular server? Thanks, Peter

Hi ! Following Ezra's suggestions on http://brainspl.at/pages/perfect_vps, I changed the port sshd listens to. I'm trying to setup SwitchTower, and I don't know how to set the port. Where should that be configured ? I can't see anything in switchtower.rake, nor can I see it in the source. If this already exists, can anybody point me to documentation. If not, can I get any pointer as to where that should be added ? It looks to...
