How to correctly link to a folder with photos in capistrano 2?

Question

Ruby on Rails

Pictures are stored in directories of the following form:
public/uploads/item/image/1/thumb_6.jpg
In deploy.rb I wrote the following:
set : shared_children, shared_children + %w{public/uploads}
However, as it turned out, such a symlink does not work, the application does not see the picture.
How to do it right?

Answer 1

The first time I saw the :shared_children option was in the second version.
Usually, the required directory was removed from the git, put into shared, and the hook was hung:

after 'deploy:update_code', roles: :app do
  run "rm -f #{current_release}/public/uploads" # На всякий случай, если каким-то образом попал, например, симлинк
  run "ln -s #{deploy_to}/shared/public/uploads/ #{current_release}/public/uploads"
end
