Deploy resource and capistrano

Can app deploys via the deploy resource be setup such that capistrano
deploys can work there also ?

They both symlink the current directory so I'd imagine the most recent one
ran would take it over, no?

I've used the deploy resource to set up the initial directory then deployed
changes afterwards with Capistrano

Hi Dan,

do you use Vagrant?
Maybe you can share an example of this setup, it would be helpful for me
too. I am still a bit confused how a development setup can be used with a
Virtual box that mirrors the production environment.
I think some sample Vagrant setup, including some short capfile would be
very intersting to me.

Thanks!

What we do is duplicate a lot of the deploy:setup task from Capistrano in Chef (creation of directories), and add a little more in (creation of configuration files for the given application/environment) and then do a manual HOSTS="new-server.example.com" cap deploy after that completes.

I've been trying to figure out if it would be better to also duplicate the entire deployment process from Capistrano to get a fresh copy of the app deployed to the new server, but something about it just feels wrong, so we've stuck with the manual process.
