The physical architecture of the production environment includes several machines doing different jobs (rake tasks), all of them over the same database.
One of the jobs would do a large UPDATE
over a table that usually returns a postgres deadlock if the other jobs are running.
I already have a rake task to gracefully stop the other jobs, but I can only execute it from the local machines.
What I want to achieve is:
task :big_update => :environment do
stop_tasks_on_another_servers
# do the SQL UPDATE
...
end
where the stop_tasks_on_another_servers should execute a rake task
on the other servers.
My best try was to use the https://github.com/capistrano/sshkit gem. The same that Capistrano uses it, but I'm still missing a step here. I'm trying the following on a rails console in the production machine:
require 'sshkit/dsl'
hosts = ['machine1', 'machine2']
on hosts do
within "/home/me/project/current" do
with rails_env: :production do
rake "stop_tasks"
end
end
end
But it returns:
INFO [70a0610a] Running /usr/bin/env rake stop_tasks on machine1
SSHKit::Command::Failed: rake stdout: Nothing written
What am I missing or is there an easier way to execute remote tasks?
Check out Rake Remote Task. Here is a snippet to show you how it works:
require 'rake/remote_task'
set :domain, 'abc.example.com'
remote_task :foo do
run "ls"
end
