DerekK19 / deploy.rb
Created August 23, 2013 02:26
Sample Capistrano deploy file. Noteworthy since it has no source code control, but also has default quiet running and customised progress messages (credit to http://jondavidjohn.com/blog/2012/04/cleaning-up-capistrano-deployment-output#comment-5861)
require "rvm/capistrano"
require "capistrano/ext/multistage"
require "colored"
logger.level = Logger::IMPORTANT # make capistrano quiet by default!
STDOUT.sync
before "deploy:update_code" do
print "Updating Code........"

DerekK19 / launch-slave
Created April 3, 2013 05:40
Daemon processes to run Jenkins. This is the only configuration I have found that works: A Daemon config file (plist) will run as root and will launch a shell script. That shell script runs a second shell script as the _jenkins user. This configuration ensures that the launch-slave script is running as the _jenkins user and has got a correct run…
