Carrierwave and Heroku does not work with seeding

I have configured a carrierwave uploader this way:

class PortraitUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base

    # Include RMagick or MiniMagick support:
    include CarrierWave::RMagick
    # include CarrierWave::MiniMagick

    # Choose what kind of storage to use for this uploader:
    storage :file
    # storage :fog

    # Override the directory where uploaded files will be stored.
    # This is a sensible default for uploaders that are meant to be mounted:
    def store_dir
        "#{Rails.root}/public/images/#{model.class.to_s.underscore}/#{mounted_as}/#{model.id}"
    end

    def cache_dir
        "#{Rails.root}/tmp/uploads"
    end
end

And my seeds are like so:

Portrait.create({
    main: true,
    image: open('http://some-image-out-there.jpg'),
    customer: @hatakeda
})

In development works 100%.

When uploading my app to Heroku, I can still use the uploader to manually set images, either by uploading or by sending the url

However thee seed creates image urls that does not display an image - 404 error.

How can I make Carrierwave, Heroku and my seedings work together happily?

Are you trying to store images on heroku? Short answer: you can't, as Heroku is read-only (ephemeral writeable filesystem). If uploading worked, those files will get wiped during your next deploy or when workers restart for any reason. Have a look Carrierwave store images locally not on s3 at heroku.
