Requirements

Ruby 2.7.x is recommended.

Config changes

Old settingNew settingNote


redis:
  db: 0


dropbox:
  google_drive:
    client_id: 'google-id'
    client_secret: 'secret-from-google'


active_storage:
  bucket: 'supplementalfiles'
  root: 'storage'

  • The redis database is now configurable.  This setting will default to 0 which is the default redis database.
  • Google Drive is now an option for the dropbox modal.  See Google Drive Dropbox for more details.

  • The directory used for storing supplemental files locally can now be configured using the root setting and in s3 or minio using the bucket setting.  This avoids the need to edit config/storage.yml

  1. Install ruby 2.7
  2. Update gems, and migrate DB

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate
