Why does Capistrano not launch my Rails app itself? Why do I need capistrano-puma gem? #346

I'm just wondering whether I didn't get something. I read through some Capistrano tutorials, and they don't seem to mention anything about starting/restarting the Rails app on the server. It just seems to happen right out of the box.

Well, in my case it doesn't. I have to manually cd into the releases/current folder and run something like bin/rails -e production after each release. Why's that? Do I misunderstand something? Is Capistrano only responsible for copying files to my host, but not for running my Rails app on it? Is this the reason why capistrano-puma gem exists? 🤔

Yes capistrano is just a deployment framework. What app you running is your choice.

Some people use it to deploy laravel and node apps
