How do I change the temporary directory that Capis

Question

How would I change the temporary dir that Capistrano uses?

Example: Instead of /tmp, I want to use /home/user/tmp

My current VPS has /tmp mounted as noexec, which gives me permission denied errors while trying to run cap production deploy.

Answer 1

Are you talking about the remote tmp directory? If yes, here an example::

set :copy_remote_dir, deploy_to

This will change the default tmp directory where the archive was copied on the remote server to the deployment directory instead.

Answer 2

In Capistrano 3,

set :tmp_dir, '/home/user/tmp'
