AssetSyncDownload

Downloads asset files to Rails applications from a cloud storage, such as AWS S3 and AzureBlob, synchronized with AssetSync gem.

It enables you to distribute a manifest file and asset files to load-balanced redundant servers without commiting these files to your repository.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'asset_sync'
gem 'asset_sync_download'

AssetSyncDownload depends on AssetSync gem deeply.

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install asset_sync_download

Usage

AssetSyncDownload supposes deployment operations as belows:

  1. Run assets:precompile rake task on your local PC. You should configure AssetSync to upload a manifest file not only asset files.
  2. Deploy rails application to servers. Do not start or restart them.
  3. Run assets:sync:download rake task on the servers. It will download the manifest file and asset files.
  4. Restart the rails applications.

Rake Tasks

  • rake assets:sync:download:manifest downloads manifest file.
  • rake assets:sync:download:asset_files downloads all asset files on a cloud storage.
    • If you configure AssetSync as config.manifest = true, you get only asset files mentioned in the manifest file.

Configuration

AssetSyncDownload

AssetSync has no configurations, but it requires well-configured AssetSync such as config.fog_provider, config.aws_access_key_id and config.aws_secret_access_key.

AssetSync

Configure config/environments/production.rb to use AWS S3 as below. (please refer to documents of AssetSync gem for more information.)

if defined?(AssetSync)
  AssetSync.configure do |config|
    config.fog_provider = 'AWS'
    config.aws_access_key_id     = ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID']
    config.aws_secret_access_key = ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY']

    config.manifest = true
  end
end

config.manifest is an option which enables to use the manifest file to get the list of local files to upload. AssetSyncDownload also refers to the option to get the list of remote files to download.

To enable uploading a manifest file to a cloud storage, you should configure AssetSync with config/initializers/asset_sync.rb as below:

if defined?(AssetSync)
  AssetSync.configure do |config|
    ...
    config.add_local_file_paths do
      if ActionView::Base.respond_to?(:assets_manifest)
        manifest = Sprockets::Manifest.new(ActionView::Base.assets_manifest.environment, ActionView::Base.assets_manifest.dir)
        manifest_path = manifest.filename
      else
        manifest_path = self.config.manifest_path
      end
      [manifest_path.sub(/^#{config.public_path}\//, "")] # full path to relative path
    end
  end
end
