File.open('code128b.png', 'w'){|f|
  f.write barcode.to_png(:height => 20, :margin => 5)
}

this is create file "code128b.png" in your root app path, and <%= image_tag("code128b.png") %> call image from assets / public

why you not upload your barcode into cloudinary and save it as url into your db :)
