Ruby on Rails Assets are not loading with Nitrious.io

Question

I have an existing app working on Nitrous.io, but when I preview it, the html loads, but not the assets, i.e. the images, javascripts etc do not load.

Answer 1

With the help of the Nitrous.io support team, I found the answer to this.

In your config/environments/development.rb file, you need to set the config variable,asset_host, that tells the app where to load the assets. For example if your ip address of the nitrious.io preview page is http://test-rails-xyz.apse2.actionbox.io/ then:

config.asset_host = 'http://test-rails-xyz.apse2.actionbox.io/'
