Hi, Has anyone experiences using SwitchTower (Windows) in a shared hosting environment (Textdrive)? I already patched the SwitchTower rake tasks (I don''t know if someone is interested on it), but i still experience some problems (not in the sudoers list, ...). Thank you for answer (and thank you to the textdrive guys, i never had a such fast support!) -- Jean-Etienne Durand

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/.

SwitchTower is a utility that can execute commands in parallel on multiple servers. It allows you to define tasks, which can include commands that are executed on the servers. You can also define roles for your servers, and then specify that certain tasks apply only to certain roles. Manual: http://manuals.rubyonrails.org/read/book/17 Project:

Just loaded up Switchtower 1.0 today, via gems. I''m on OS X (10.4.5), with ruby and friends installed via darwinports in opt/local. After installing ST, I switchtowerized my app, set up the deploy recipe, then ran: rake remote_exec ACTION=setup When I do, i get this error: rake aborted! uninitialized constant SwitchTower Obviously, this happens with any of the tasks in ST (like

I''m trying to use SwitchTower to deploy from XP to Dreamhost. Based on <http://nubyonrails.com/pages/shovel_dreamhost>, my deploy.rb looks like: set :user, ''dankohn'' set :application, "flydash.com" set :repository, "http://svn.flydash.com/flydash/flydash" #set :repository, "svn+ssh://home/#{user}/svn/flydash" #set :repository,

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. However, I dont have any problem when :db is changed to the same as :web and :app. -------------- next part

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

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.

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

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. I put some logging statements in the switchtower code and it seems to fail at this statement in switchtower-0.10.0/lib/switchtower/scm/cvs.rb @latest_revision =

I''m trying to set up switchtower, following the info in the Manual, but am getting this error when I run "rake remote_exec ACTION=setup": servers: ["cantona.dnswatchdog.com"] /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/net-ssh-1.0.3/lib/net/ssh/transport/packet-stream.rb:203:in `sysread'': bignum too big to convert into `long'' (RangeError) from

Today I managed to deploy my application using Capistrano, using CVS as the SCM, but I had to use some workarounds I''m not quite happy about. Maybe I just did something wrong, maybe these are missing features/bugs in Capistrano: 1) I used Capistrano earlier with SVN, and there it re-used the password for the remote server for doing the checkout. However, CVS kept complaining the

I''d like to get SwitchTower to checkout from different repositories per role? The db role checks out different stuff from the app role, etc. I don''t mind redefining SwitchTower::SCM::Subversion.checkout. But I''m not sure the best way to do it. How would that method parameterize the repository based on role? It''d be something like this: command =

I''m working on a Rails project that needs to be deployed in the near future. To enable prompt responses to bug reports, me and my coding partner were thinking to use the following SVN repository lay-out/policy. We''re using trunk/ for our main-line development. Whenever we deploy something from our trunk, we first want to make a branch (e.g. branches/1.x) and then derive a tag
