I am using paperclip in my rails application to upload images. As all know by default paperclip creating public directory in rails path.
But I face a trouble while deploying my application with capistrano. Whenever I deploy my code using capistrano it is replacing my uploads directory. So I am trying to implement symlink to create a short since I am not expert in linux I am unable to continue with it can anyone help me how to solve it
has_attached_file :upload,styles:
{ thumb: ["150x100#",:jpg], small: ["75x75#",:png]},
default_url: '/assets/avatar.jpg',
url: "/post_images/post_:post_id/:style/:filename"
Here is my url how can i create a symlink for this directory /var/uploads/post_:post_id...
There "right" way to do this is to save files in public/upload/.. directory and ignore upload folder from git. Then create symlink from release current directory to shared directory(MOVE uploads folder first to shared). Add this to deploy.rb:
namespace :deploy do
task :create_symlinks, :role => :app do
run "ln -nfs #{shared_path}/uploads #{release_path}/public/uploads" #Create symlink for public files
run "ln -nfs #{shared_path}/system #{release_path}/system" #Create symlink for private files
run "ln -nfs #{shared_path}/config/database.yml #{release_path}/config/database.yml" #Create symlink for database
run "ln -nfs #{shared_path}/.rvmrc #{release_path}/.rvmrc" #Create symlink for rvm
end
end
before "deploy:finalize_update", "deploy:create_symlinks"
Using Capistrano 3.
desc 'Persist Paperclip uploads'
task :create_symlinks do
on roles(:app) do
execute "ln -nfs #{shared_path}/system #{release_path}/system" #Create symlink for private files
end
end
after :published, "deploy:create_symlinks"

The Capistrano production.rb file executes 3 tasks
composer install --no-dev
mkdir storage
upload! ".env.production", ".env"
The first 2 are executed, but the upload fails: "No such file or directory".
I was able to scp the file successfully from the command line.
How to copy a file to the current release directory?
$ cap --version

namespace :deploy do

after :updated, :build do

execute :composer, "install --no-dev"
execute :mkdir, "storage"
end

end
end
end
if your need is to copy your local application.yml to the server, and you are already using capistrano, you can use the capistrano figaro gem, it creates a task to update this file on server. in theory, you could run the task automatically and make this file to be updated. is an old gem, but works like a charm and do the work.
Having a really hard time getting this to work. I just added dotenv gem to accommodate for the Rails 4.1 secrets.yml file. I also have in the .env file the database.yml's password.
To add to my deploy:
set :linked_files, %w{config/database.yml .env}
When I run cap production deploy I get:
/shared/config/database.yml does not exist on 107.170.....
How can I get the database.yml to be added?
I looked at the capistrano touch gem with no luck because after I create the empty files, ActiveRecord throws an error of No 'production' database
Create task for upload your .env and database.yml.Look example below:
desc "Database config"
task :setup_config, roles: :app do
# upload you database.yml from config dir to shared dir on server
put File.read("config/database.yml"), "#{shared_path}/config/database.yml"
# make symlink
run "ln -nfs #{shared_path}/config/database.yml #{release_path}/config/database.yml"
# upload you database.yml from config dir to shared dir on server
put File.read(".env"), "#{shared_path}/config/.env"
# make symlink
run "ln -nfs #{shared_path}/config/.env #{current_path}/.env"
end
And add before and after hooks.
Or use dotenv-deployment that contain the same tasks.
I'm trying to "translate" the Capistrano recipe to deploy dynamic_sitemaps to work with Capistrano 3.
The snippet suggested in the readme looks like this:
after "deploy:update_code", "sitemaps:create_symlink"
namespace :sitemaps do
task :create_symlink, roles: :app do
run "mkdir -p #{shared_path}/sitemaps"
run "rm -rf #{release_path}/public/sitemaps"
run "ln -s #{shared_path}/sitemaps #{release_path}/public/sitemaps"
end
end
But this doesn't work with Capistrano 3. I pasted this code into config/deploy.rb and the first error I got was: Don't know how to build task 'sitemaps:create_symlink'`.
I read somewhere that in Capistrano 3 the namespaces have to be defined before the calls so I reversed the order of the blocks, defining the namespace first and having the after call last. I got NoMethodError: undefined method `map' for :roles:Symbol`.
So I rewrote the namespace block to:
namespace :sitemaps do
task :create_symlink do
on roles(:web) do
run "mkdir -p #{shared_path}/sitemaps"
run "rm -rf #{release_path}/public/sitemaps"
run "ln -s #{shared_path}/sitemaps #{release_path}/public/sitemaps"
end
end
end
And now I'm getting Don't know how to build task 'deploy:update_code' and I'm at loss.
While I couldn't solve precisely the issue I posted above, the solution is actually very simple. If using Capistrano 3 just add public/sitemaps to your :linked_dirs setting as such:
set :linked_dirs, %w{bin log tmp vendor/bundle public/system public/sitemaps}
This will create a symbolic link between #{release_path}/public/sitemaps and #{shared_path}/public/sitemap creating the latter if needed.
I successfully installed a Rails (3.2.10) app on an Ubuntu 12.04 server on Rackspace following Railscasts 335 deploying to a vps. Nginx, Unicorn, rbenv and Capistrano.
Then, when I try to install a second rails website I get the error "Could not find rake-10.0.3 in any of the sources" during cap:deploy. cap:setup and cap:check were successful. Additionally, there is no current directory under my application folder.
If I cd into the releases directory and run bundle install it is using rake-10.0.3. The only difference between the two apps is that the new app I am trying to install uses the assets pipeline.
Here is my deploy file which is identical for both apps, except for the set :application directive.
set :user, 'mark'
set :scm_passphrase, 'xxxx'
set :domain, '99.99.99.99'

Remove all the versions of Rake ==> gem uninstall rake
Remove Gemfile.lock ==> rm Gemfile.lock
Run bundle install ==> bundle install
gem install rake --version=10.0.2
if you still get the error then put this into your gemfile.
gem 'rake', '0.8.7'
bundle update rake
worked for me. I've had similar problem.
If your still looking for a fix... For me it was a matter of using sudo bundle install instead of just bundle install.
I had this same cryptic error message .... turns out I had created a 'cloned' release inside the release folder which causes sprockets to want to do things there .... I think cap uses the create date as it traverses the release tree so somehow this messed things up .... be sure there are no additional 'hand made' folders in your /releases/ folder and you should get past this bug
I had the same problem. The cause for my problem was that Rake was also found in /usr/bin/local/ in addition to being in the shims directory in rbenv. To check if this is the problem first uninstall rake gem uninstall rake then run which rake. If you get back a path that is different than /Users/username/.rbenv/shims/rake then just remove that binary using sudo rm /path/to/file.
Note that in my case at least, which gem was using a shimed executable that was managed by rbenv, while rake wasn't. So everything worked find until I tried to invoke rake command from the terminal.
Also see: After installing rbenv and changing Ruby version, Rake no longer runs
For rails version from 4.3, let try with bundle exec rails app:update. It worked for me.
Hope it's useful for you.
I'm deploying a Ruby on Rails and NodeJS application using Capistrano. The uploads folder gets removed on every deploy.
This popped up on several places but it doesn't seem to work:
# Keep File Uploads
task :symlink_uploads do
run "ln -nfs #{shared_path}/rails/uploads #{release_path}/rails/public/uploads"
end
after 'deploy:update_code', 'deploy:symlink_uploads'
the repo:
repo:
/node
/rails
Thanks!
There is another solution to this problem. You can add your uploads dir to Capistrano's shared_children and it will do all the magic automatically. You can find more details in this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9710542/835935
Make sure you remove the existing public/uploads folder, passing -f to ln doesn't cover removing target directories (or at least hasn't done so portably for me)
My symlink directories tasks normally look like
task :symlink_uploads do
run "rm -rf #{release_path}/rails/public/uploads} && ln -nfs #{shared_path}/rails/uploads #{release_path}/rails/public/uploads"
end
Obviously make sure there is nothing in the checked in version of public/uploads that you need!
Did you try
after 'deploy:update_code', ':symlink_uploads'
Your :symlink_uploads task is not in a namespace, so rather do the above or put it in a namespace
namespace :deploy do
task :symlink_uploads do
# ...
end
end
I have similar problem with uploaded file with my RoR app. This is my capistrano tasks:
...
task :link_public_folder, :roles => [:app, :web] do
run "mv -u #{release_path}/public/* #{shared_path}/public"
run "rm -rf #{release_path}/public"
run "ln -s #{shared_path}/public #{release_path}/public"
end
after "deploy:update", "deploy:link_public_folder"
task :setup_config, :roles => :app do
sudo "ln -nfs #{current_path}/config/apache.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/#{application}"
run "mkdir -p #{shared_path}/config"
run "mkdir -p #{shared_path}/public"
put File.read("config/database.yml"), "#{shared_path}/config/database.yml"
puts "Now edit the config files in #{shared_path}."
end
after "deploy:setup", "deploy:setup_config"
...
Maybe help you
Edit:
I use Carrierwave too.
