listen '/tmp/unicorn.spui.sock', backlog: 64

before_fork do |server, worker|
  Signal.trap 'TERM' do
    puts 'Unicorn master intercepting TERM and sending myself QUIT instead'
    Process.kill 'QUIT', Process.pid
  end

  defined?(ActiveRecord::Base) and

end

# Force the bundler gemfile environment variable to
# reference the capistrano "current" symlink
before_exec do |_|
  ENV['BUNDLE_GEMFILE'] = File.join(root, 'Gemfile')
end

Add Capistrano

$ vim Gemfile

group :development do
  gem 'capistrano-rails'

Dir.glob('lib/capistrano/tasks/*.rake').each { |r| import r }

Update Capistrano Deploy Config

$ vim config/deploy.rb

lock '3.3.5'

set :application, 'spui'
set :repo_url, 'git@github.com:MYGITHUB/MYAPP.git'

ask :branch, proc { `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD`.chomp }.call
