I’m trying to debug a plugin that works locally but doesn’t in production. I want to run Discourse locally in production but I’m having some issues and I don’t want to keep digging if this is not the right way.

What I’m doing right now that works is

1. Copy database configuration for development to production in the `config/database.yml` file
2. Remove the `database_configuration` method override in `application.rb`
3. Remove the check for puma configuration to be used in production in `config/puma.rb`
4. Set `config.public_file_server.enabled = true` in `config/environments/production.rb`
5. Compile assets with `env RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile`
6. Run the server with `env RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails s`

Is there an easier way to do this?

Thanks!
