We are looking to shift to bundler for deploying internal applications. We currently use capistrano for deployment using git for SCM. After googling extensively, I have found about 20 different ways to incorporate bundler into a rails 2.3.x application - but much of that information is out of date.
currently we freeze gems to the application with the exception of native gems which we will install on the servers themselves. We would like to continue to freeze gems to the applications. I am a little unsure about the best way to setup capistrano so that it will deploy the application so that everything just works.
As for my questions:
- Is it just brain-dead simple and I am missing it?
- Is there a good place with up to date documentation on deploying with capistrano/bundler?
- Is there a deployment strategy that will work better than the "vendor everything" method that we have been using that might leverage bundler in a better way?
- What is the earliest supported version of rails that will work with bundler? I have heard it might be 2.3.5, but cannot find that documented anywhere.
Thanks for your help!
