dotenv and linked_files with capistrano 3

Having a really hard time getting this to work. I just added dotenv gem to accommodate for the Rails 4.1 secrets.yml file. I also have in the .env file the database.yml's password.

To add to my deploy: 

set :linked_files, %w{config/database.yml .env}

When I run cap production deploy I get: 

/shared/config/database.yml does not exist on 107.170.....

How can I get the database.yml to be added?

I looked at the capistrano touch gem with no luck because after I create the empty files, ActiveRecord throws an error of No 'production' database

Create task for upload your .env and database.yml.Look example below:

desc "Database config"
  task :setup_config, roles: :app do
  # upload you database.yml from config dir to shared dir on server
  put File.read("config/database.yml"), "#{shared_path}/config/database.yml"
  # make symlink
  run "ln -nfs #{shared_path}/config/database.yml #{release_path}/config/database.yml"
  # upload you database.yml from config dir to shared dir on server
  put File.read(".env"), "#{shared_path}/config/.env"
  # make symlink
  run "ln -nfs #{shared_path}/config/.env #{current_path}/.env"
end

And add before and after hooks.

Or use dotenv-deployment that contain the same tasks.
