Images from seeds.rb don't work on heroku

I have seeds.rb file like this (I use paperclip gem):

player1 = Player.create(
                        firstname: "John", lastname: "Malkon", nickname: "jonmal",
                        avatar: File.new("#{Rails.root}/public/examples/avatars/1.png"))

When I run locally rake db:seed everything works (images work fine).

But when I run heroku run rake db:seed images don't work.

In the html code I can see:

<img src="/system/players/avatars/000/000/007/medium/7.jpg?1438851753" alt="7">

But image is broken.

What is the problem (I suppose the problem is about path but I don't kton how to fix it)?

I have my image files in public/examples/avatars/

In browser console I get:

"NetworkError: 404 Not Found  - http://foosballtr.herokuapp.com/system/players/avatars/000/000/007/medium/7.jpg?1438851753"

Where should I put my image files?

I assume a paperclip gem takes your image from public/examples/avatars/ and places it to the public/system/players/avatars/ directory.

You can't see your images because, the Heroku file system is read-only (except /tmp), hence your images is not persisted.

See the topic here for more info on this limitation.
