Varnish

Theme

A theme directory should be set. This is used to run build the assets. For example, for bedrock:

Asset directories

You can specify assets directories from within the theme directory. These asset folders will be uploaded after building the assets. For example:

set :assets, fetch(:assets, []).push('assets/scripts/dist')
set :assets, fetch(:assets, []).push('assets/styles/dist')

Automation

To automatically build and upload assets on each deployment, you can use the deploy:updated hook:

Domains

Config (domains)

Domains can be configured by setting the domains variable. For example, in production.rb:

set :domains, {
  'www.example.com' => 'www.example-com.localhost',
  'www.example.org' => 'www.example-org.localhost',
}
