Background I used to use mina to deploy all my rails applications, but it seems that it is not incompatible with rails 7, that makes capistrano the best and only choice for the deployment. Install capistrano plugins The following plugins are required. # Gemfile group :development do gem "capistrano", "~> 3.17", require: false gem "capistrano-rails", "~> 1.6", require: false gem 'capistrano3-puma', require: false gem 'capistrano-rbenv', '~> 2.2', require: false gem 'capistrano-bundler', '~> 2.
