ActiveStorage::PostgreSQL

ActiveStorage Service to store files PostgeSQL.

Files are stored in PostgreSQL as Large Objects, which provide streaming style access. More information about Large Objects can be found here.

This allows use of ActiveStorage on hosting platforms with ephemeral file systems such as Heroku without relying on third party storage services.

There are some limits to the storage of Large Objects in PostgerSQL, so this is only recommended for prototyping and very small sites.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'active_storage-postgresql'

And then execute:

$ bundle

In config/storage.yml set PostgreSQL as the service

local:
  service: PostgreSQL

Copy over the migrations:

rails active_storage:install
rails active_storage:postgresql:install
