Question

I\'m using rails 3.2 with asset and carrierwave for upload some images, they store in /public/uploads/photo/..... but when I do a cap:deploy (with capistrano) my current d

Answer 1

With Capistrano 3 and without needing to redeploy.

Like @tristanm mentioned add this to your config/deploy.rb

# config/deploy.rb
set :linked_dirs, fetch(:linked_dirs) + %w{public/uploads}

To have capistrano create shared/public/uploads

cap deploy:check:linked_dirs

Now cap can create the symlink

cap deploy:symlink:shared

Finally, if you have backups of the uploads you can put them in shared/public/uploads/ and they should work without needing to redeploy.
