This plugin is intended to allow for easy movement of assets (rails public folder) to Rackspace's cloud files.

Requires rackspace cloudfiles gem http://github.com/rackspace/ruby-cloudfiles/tree

For the present, requires this patch to be ran on the gem diff --git a/lib/cloudfiles/container.rb b/lib/cloudfiles/container.rb index 650658b..e3827e1 100644 --- a/lib/cloudfiles/container.rb +++ b/lib/cloudfiles/container.rb @@ -167,7 +167,7 @@ module CloudFiles doc = REXML::Document.new(response.body) detailhash = {} doc.elements.each("container/object") { |o| - detailhash[o.elements["name"].text] = { :bytes => o.elements["bytes"].text, :hash => o.elements["hash"].text, :content_type => o.elements["content_type"].text, :last_modified => Time.parse(o.elements["last_modified"].text) } + detailhash[o.elements["name"].text] = { :bytes => o.elements["bytes"].text, :hash => o.elements["hash"].text, :content_type => o.elements["content_type"].text, :last_modified => DateTime.parse(o.elements["last_modified"].text) } } doc = nil return detailhash

In your RAILS_ROOT/config folder, create a cloud_files.yml . The config file is compatible with Minter's paperclip fork for cloud files http://github.com/minter/paperclip

cloud_files.yml:

development:
  username: -- username --
  api_key: -- api_key --
  container: -- container -- # for paperclip
production:
  username: -- username --
  api_key: -- api_key --
  container: -- container -- # for paperclip
  assets_container: -- container name of where your public assets will go --

Usage: rake cf_asset_host

• Capistrano Recipie
• Delete files that no longer exist
• Gem Time vs DateTime work around without patch
