Open Source Projects
Jeweler
Jeweler is the GitHub recommended way to generating and maintaining RubyGem projects. It was one of the first gem management tools around there to be tailored to Git and GitHub. It has gained large adoption since it's creation in 2008.
Moonshine
Moonshine is a tool and framework for automating Ruby on Rails deployments and server configuration. Built on top of capistrano and puppet, it provides an out of the box experience to prepare a server for Rails applications. For more complex applications, Moonshine can be extended with custom recipes writing plain old ruby, in addition to a large number of existing plugins.
Homesick
Homesick is a command line tool for storing your dotfiles in git, and being able to use them locally.
capistrano-mountaintop
capistrano-mountaintop is a capistrano extension for posting deploy logs to Campfire. We use it extensively at Rails Machine to stay on the same page about who is deploying what, and to help with debugging if something goes wrong.
capistrano-spec
Capistrano configuration and libraries are code too, so should be tested as such. capistrano-spec makes that easier.
nagiosharder
nagiosharder is a Ruby library for interacting with a Nagios install. We use it at Rails Machine for integrating information from Nagios with our other tools.
capistrano-cowboy
capistrano-cowboy is an extension to Capistrano to easily deploy code from your current checkout, rather than using version control. This probably sounds like a bad idea, but at Rails Machine, we've found it extremely useful while developing Moonshine, as well as a last-ditch way of deploying code if your source control host is unavailable
pager_duty-connection
pager_duty-connection is a Ruby library for interacting with the PagerDuty API. It tries to be pretty minimalist, such that someone with passing familiarity with Ruby and the API should be able to get going with minimal friction.
