Barry Hess Test -

I’m standing up a prototype app using Rails and Render. It wasn’t too hard to figure out how to get things going - Render’s docs have been pretty good! But I figured it is worth jotting down a few pointers about what I had to do right now while using a Render native environment and Rails 7.0.1.

The Rails guide on Active Storage is generally great.
You will be using Render Disks for storage, which means you can no longer stay on the free plan.
Of the available image processing options, Render’s native environments only include imagemagick out of the box, so you will have to use MiniMagick for your processor.
- This means brew install imagemagick
- Rails is transitioning to preferring Vips. While it is not documented yet, you will need config.active_storage.variant_processor = :mini_magick in application.rb to get things working.
When setting up your Disk, note your mount path. I used /storage.
Your storage.yml for production should look something like this:
```
production_local:
service: Disk
root: '/storage'
```

config/environments/production.rb needs:

config.active_storage.service = :production_local

Testing code fences again:

production_local:
  service: Disk
  root: '/storage'

And paste from a working post:

production_local:
  service: Disk
  root: '/Storage'

And

production_local:
  service: Disk
  root: `/Storage`
