So, my problem is: – I have an heroku repository with images from users

  • 0

So, my problem is:
– I have an heroku repository with images from users in “public/assets/..” using the paperclip gem
– I have another local repository with test images like “from users” but it’s different.

If i change .gitignore and add “public/assets/*” after a couple of days all my images are gone frome heroku (((

If i delete from “public/assets/*” after pushing my local repository to heroku all my real “users images” will be replaced with test users images.

What should i do to fix this?
thx

    Not sure if this is related, but Heroku has a read-only filesystem (although on Cedar you have an ephemeral filesystem). Over time, your app may idle out and move to a different dyno, meaning your tmp folder is clean and clear. There is no file mirroring between dynos. This could be why your images seem to dissapear after a couple of days.

    If you’re using Paperclip / uploaded images at all, you need to look at using something like S3.
