Replacing Capistrano with Ansible

If you currently deploy your project with Capistrano but you've started provisioning with Ansible, try replacing Capistrano altogether with this Ansible role in the Galaxy:

Project Deploy

https://galaxy.ansible.com/list#/roles/732

An example playbook for deployments (for a Symfony Project) would look as simple as:

---
- name: Deploy the application
  hosts: production
  remote_user: "{{ production_deploy_user }}"
  sudo: no

  vars:
    project_root: "/path/to/root"
    project_git_repo: "https://github.com/user/repo"
    project_deploy_strategy: git

    project_environment:
      SYMFONY_ENV: "prod"

    project_shared_children:
      - path: "/app/sessions"
        src: "sessions"
      - path: "/web/uploads"
        src: "uploads"

    project_templates:
      - name: parameters.yml
        src: "templates/parameters.yml.j2"
        dest: "/app/config/parameters.yml"

    project_has_composer: yes

    project_post_build_commands:
      - "app/console cache:clear"
      - "app/console doctrine:migrations:migrate --no-interaction"
      - "app/console assets:install"
      - "app/console assetic:dump"

  roles:
    - f500.project_deploy

This example was taken from https://github.com/SweetLakePHP/SweetLakePHP


Or, if you're feeling bold, try writing your own role based on the deploy_helper module yourself:
