rake-remote_task

Extends rake with remotely run tasks.

Vlad the Deployer’s sexy brainchild is rake-remote_task, extending Rake with remote task goodness.

Run remote commands on one or more servers.
Mix and match local and remote tasks.
Uses ssh with your ssh settings already in place.
Uses rsync for efficient transfers.

require "rake/remote_task"

set :domain,    "abc.example.com"
set :ssh_cmd,   "/usr/local/bin/ssh" # optional - use ~/.ssh/config instead
set :ssh_flags, %w[-l joe -p 2000]   # optional

remote_task :setup_app, :roles => :app do
  # ... set the application up ...
  run "umask #{umask} && mkdir -p #{dirs.join(' ')}"
end
