Updates the symlink to the most recently deployed version. Capistrano works \
by putting each new release of your application in its own directory. When \
you deploy a new version, this task's job is to update the `current' symlink \
to point at the new version. You will rarely need to call this task \
directly; instead, use the `deploy' task (which performs a complete \
deploy, including `restart') or the 'update' task (which does everything \
except `restart').

# delete the uploads directory out of the new codebase if it exists. then symlink the uploads directory to there.
# run "rm -rf #{latest_release}/app/assets/uploads && ln -s #{deploy_to}/shared/uploads #{latest_release}/app/assets/uploads"

Restarts your application.
By default, this will be invoked via sudo as the 'app' user. If
you are in an environment where you can't use sudo, set
the :use_sudo variable to false:
set :use_sudo, false
DESC
task :restart, :roles => :app, :except => { :no_release => true } do
run "#{sudo} chown -R www-data:www-data /var/apps/myapp/shared/uploads/"

end
desc <<-DESC
[internal] Touches up the released code. This is called by update_code \
after the basic deploy finishes.
This task will make the release group-writable (if the :group_writable \
variable is set to true, which is the default). It will then change \
ownership of the release and the symlink that was created if the owners \
variable exists.
DESC
task :finalize_update, :except => { :no_release => true } do
# run "chmod -R g+w #{latest_release}" if fetch(:group_writable, true)

Project: Django site for which original deployment was scripted with Capistrano. Updating the site and using Ansible to wrangle the server configurations. Why not deploy with it too?

Observed that for similar "Capistrano style" deployments, Capistrano is typically much faster at executing a deployment.

I've noticed a similar discrepancy between Fabric and Capistrano and suspect it comes down to the model of executing discrete commands (Ansible and Fabric) vs. bundling shell commands (Capistrano). This is based on observed output of Capistrano and my understanding of how Ansible and Fabric execute commands, which I do not assert to be authoritative!

Using Capistrano v2.15.4 and Ansible 1.5.4. Ran from my computer over my home network with Verizon FiOS. Target server is a small testing server on Rackspace:

Ansible total time: 1:50.44 total (43.821 total from a Digital Ocean instance) Capistrano total time: 16.951 total

The Ansible deployment playbook was written to try to follow the Capistrano steps as closely as possible (difference in using rsync vs. Capistrano's cp, however).
