About
Active Storage keeps your files, but Rails gives you no way to look at them. This
engine is that missing screen.
What you get
- Overview statistics for your Active Storage usage
- Browsable blobs, attachments and variant records
- File metadata, byte sizes, content types and checksums
- The record each attachment belongs to, linked
- No external dependencies — it ships its own assets
Mounting it
ruby
# Gemfile
gem "active_storage_dashboard"
# config/routes.rb
authenticate :user, ->(user) { user.admin? } do
mount ActiveStorageDashboard::Engine, at: "/active-storage-dashboard"
end
Use a simple mount path without special characters.
Gate it
This reads every attachment in your application, so it belongs behind an admin
check. The README also carries a security advisory worth reading before you run the
bulk rake tasks on an un-upgraded Active Storage.
