Is there a Passenger compatible implementation of taps for Ruby on Rails?

Question

Does anybody know of a gem that provides taps-like functionality, that is compatible with Passenger (mod_rails)?

When I try to use taps on a Ruby EE/Passenger setup, I receive the error:

`detect_rack_handler': Server handler (thin,mongrel,webrick) not found. (RuntimeError)

Although it's not specifically stated in the readme, I am assuming this means that taps is only compatible with Thin/Mongrel/Webrick.

Essentially, I'm looking for a way to easily push my PostgreSQL database to development to production.

Answer 1

You could tunnel Postgres over SSH, that's very secure and you could use whatever backup / restore tools you currently have on your development machine.
