My ssh keys are definitely set up correctly, as I'm never prompted for the password when using ssh. But capistrano still asks for a password when deploying with cap deploy
. It doesn't ask for the password when I setup with cap deploy:setup
though, strangely enough. It would make the deployment cycle so much smoother without a password prompt.
Specifics: I'm deploying a Sinatra app to a Dreamhost shared account (which uses Passenger). I had followed a tutorial for doing so long back, which worked perfectly back then. Something broke since. I'm using capistrano (2.5.9) and git version 1.6.1.1. Here's my Capfile:
load 'deploy' if respond_to?(:namespace) # cap2 differentiator
set :user, 'ehsanul'
set :domain, 'jellly.com'
default_run_options[:pty] = true
# the rest should be good
set :repository, "[email protected]:git/jellly.git"
set :deploy_to, "/home/ehsanul/jellly.com"
set :deploy_via, :remote_cache
set :scm, 'git'
set :branch, 'deploy'
set :git_shallow_clone, 1
set :scm_verbose, true
set :use_sudo, false
server domain, :app, :web
namespace :deploy do
task :migrate do
run "cd #{current_path}; /usr/bin/rake migrate environment=production"
end
task :restart do
run "touch #{current_path}/tmp/restart.txt"
end
end
after "deploy", "deploy:migrate"
And here's the output of what happens when I cap deploy
, upto the password prompt:
$ cap deploy
* executing `deploy'
* executing `deploy:update'
** transaction: start

updating the cached checkout on all servers

What could be broken?
