title: "Upgrading from v2.x.x"
layout: default

1.
Update your Gemfile: `gem 'capistrano', '~> 3.0', require: false, group: :development`
If you deploy Rails, you wil also need `capistrano-rails` and `capistrano-bundler` gems (Rails and Bundler integrations were moved out from Capistrano 3.x).
2.
We recommend to capify the project from scratch and move definitions from old to new configs then.
{% prism bash %}
mkdir old_cap
mv Capfile old_cap
mv config/deploy.rb old_cap
mv config/deploy/ old_cap # --> only for multistage setups
{% endprism %}
It's time to capify:
{% prism bash %}
cap install
{% endprism %}
3.
Capistrano 3.x is multistage by default, so you will have `config/deploy/production.rb` and `config/deploy/staging.rb` right after capifying.
If you need only one stage, remove these files and declare stage (for example `production`) and servers in `Capfile`.
4.
Update `config/deploy/production.rb` and `config/deploy/staging.rb` to have relevant data there. You may also want to add more stages from old configs (`old_cap/deploy/`).
5.
Now you need to refactor your old `deploy.rb` (also `Capfile`, but in most of cases developers didn't change it in Capistrano 2.x). Move parameters (like `set :deploy_to, "/home/deploy/#{application}"` or `set :keep_releases, 4`) to `config/deploy.rb` and tasks to `Capfile`.
*Important: `repository` option was renamed to `repo_url`.*
Notice that some parameters are not necessary anymore: `use_sudo`, `normalize_asset_timestamps`.
6.
If you didn't use `deploy_to` before and deployed to `/u/apps/your_app_name`, you need one more change. Now default deploy path is `/var/www/app_name` and your config will be broken after upgrade. Just declare custom `deploy_to` option:
{% prism ruby %}
set :deploy_to, "/u/apps/#{fetch(:application)}"
{% endprism %}
But in advance, `/u/apps` is not the best place to store apps and we advice you to change it later.
7.
Keep editing Capfile and uncomment addons you need, such as rbenv/rvm, bundler or rails.
8.
Yay! Try to deploy with your new config set. If you discover any missing info in this upgrade guide, you're welcome to contribute to it.
# General recommentations
#### Use DSL instead of writing ENV variables
Instead of:
{% prism ruby %}
run <<-CMD.compact
cd -- #{latest_release} &&
RAILS_ENV=#{rails_env.to_s.shellescape} #{asset_env} #{rake} assets:precompile
CMD
{% endprism %}
It's better to use:
{% prism ruby %}
within fetch(:latest_release_directory)
with rails_env: fetch(:rails_env) do
execute :rake, 'assets:precompile'
end
end
{% endprism %}
#### Refactor roles
Instead of:
{% prism ruby %}
role :app, %w{example.com}
role :web, %w{example.com}
role :db, %w{example.com}
{% endprism %}
It's better to use:
{% prism ruby %}
role :all, %w{example.com}
{% endprism %}
