Alter the setup task

[j6s]

I currently have the problem, that my setup task fails, because my hoster does enable ssh, however neither chown nor whoami are installed / accessible for the user. That is a major restriction, however i can be shure, that i really am the owner of the folders, thus there is no need for the chown.

Is there a easy way to alter the task and delete that part?

You can override the setup task by adding it to your deploy.rb file and removing thinks that you don't need.

task :setup do
  set_default :term_mode, :pretty

  settings.deploy_to!

  user = settings.user? ? "#{settings.user}" : "username"

  queue %{
    echo "-----> Setting up #{deploy_to}" && (
      #{echo_cmd %{mkdir -p "#{deploy_to}"}} &&
      #{echo_cmd %{chown -R `whoami` "#{deploy_to}"}} &&
      #{echo_cmd %{chmod g+rx,u+rwx "#{deploy_to}"}} &&
      #{echo_cmd %{cd "#{deploy_to}"}} &&
      #{echo_cmd %{mkdir -p "#{releases_path}"}} &&
      #{echo_cmd %{chmod g+rx,u+rwx "#{releases_path}"}} &&
      #{echo_cmd %{mkdir -p "#{shared_path}"}} &&
      #{echo_cmd %{chmod g+rx,u+rwx "#{shared_path}"}} &&
      echo "" &&
      #{echo_cmd %{ls -la "#{deploy_to}"}} &&
      echo "" &&
      echo "-----> Done."
    ) || (
      echo "! ERROR: Setup failed."
      echo "! Ensure that the path '#{deploy_to}' is accessible to the SSH user."
      echo "! Try doing:"
      echo "!    sudo mkdir -p \\"#{deploy_to}\\" && sudo chown -R #{user} \\"#{deploy_to}\\""
    )
  }
end
