Run a task on the old releases?

[alexislefebvre]

Is is possible to run a task on a old release after a new deployment, or on all releases except the current one?

My use case: I would want to run php bin/console cache:pool:prune on the old releases of a Symfony project, it would remove the cache files and free up disk space.

I should try to write a custom command, based on cleanup: https://github.com/deployphp/deployer/blob/6.x/recipe/deploy/cleanup.php

It would call php bin/console cache:pool:prune instead of rm

Here is my solution:

before('cleanup', 'cleanup:cache-pool-prune');

task('cleanup:cache-pool-prune', function () {
    $releases = get('releases_list');

    // ignore the last release
    array_shift($releases);

    foreach ($releases as $release) {
        run('cd {{deploy_path}}/releases/'.$release.' && bin/console cache:pool:prune');
    }
})->desc('Prune the pool of previous releases');
