Images not showing after deploy with Capistrano and ActiveStorage

Question

I've already running Spree on a Digital Ocean's server, but every time I deploy a new version, I'm getting not found for the images that have been uploaded by users on previous versions

Based in related posts that I've found, it seems to be a problem in the way that I've setup symlinked dirs

I tried adding storage dir to linked_dirs in my deploy.rb and released a new version running cap production deploy , but I'm still getting the same error

set :linked_dirs,  %w{log tmp/pids tmp/cache tmp/sockets vendor/bundle .bundle public/system public/uploads storage}

I don't really know if this may be working from current release onwards, but the thing is that previous images are still lost and I need to keep them after delploying a new version

This is my Capfile

# Load DSL and Setup Up Stages
require 'capistrano/setup'
require 'capistrano/deploy'

require 'sshkit/sudo'

require 'capistrano/rails/migrations'

I have this setup. in config/storage

  service: Disk
  root: <%= Rails.root.join("tmp/storage") %>

staging:
  service: Disk
  root: <%= Rails.root.join("tmp/storage") %>

local:
  service: Disk
  root: <%= Rails.root.join("tmp/storage") %>

production:
  service: Disk
  root: <%= Rails.root.join("../shared/storage") %>

and in environments/production config.active_storage.service =:production

and in environments/development config.active_storage.service =:development

Notice production has../shared/storage

I had the same error on Ubuntu 20.04. The problem was not with symlinked dir, but with ImageMagick . I solved it after reinstalled ImageMagick with all add ons according to this instruction:

#These are the steps required in order to Install ImageMagick with JPG, PNG and TIFF delegates.

sudo apt-get update 

#Install Build-Essential in order to configure and make the final Install

sudo apt-get install build-essential 

#libjpg62-dev required in order to work with basic JPG files

sudo apt-get install -y libjpeg62-dev 

#libtiff-dev is required in order to work with TIFF file format

sudo apt-get install -y libtiff-dev 

#Download ImageMagick

wget https://www.imagemagick.org/download/ImageMagick.tar.gz 

#Untar Imagemagick

tar xvzf ImageMagick.tar.gz 

#Access the working directory

cd ImageMagick/[version_number] 

#Configure and make sure to disable the "shared" option

./configure --disable-shared

#Make

sudo make

#Install

sudo make install

#Final Check

sudo make check
