Capistrano 3 setfacl failing

Question

I am getting this command using a pretty vanilla staging.rb file:

/usr/bin/env setfacl -m u:www-data:rwx,u:s272shop:rwx /home/s272shop/deployment/releases/20140204030518/app/storage

The problem is that www-data doesn't exist in any of my deployment files, nor does that user exist on my server, so it fails. I don't know how to set it.

When I run cap staging deploy --trace, it happens in the deploy:set_permissions:acl. I don't call that explicitly. Can I call something else?

Answer 1

After searching in the Ruby Gems directory I found this in the file-permissions readme.

set :file_permissions_users, ["www-data"]

I added that to my deploy.rb and changed it to my user... and it worked like a charm.
