Clean up temp files and saved searches

bess commented 4 years ago

Over time, the search history in Blacklight's database accumulates and gets unwieldy. Better to clean it out with an automatically run rake task, as described here:

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

[x] There is an automatically run task that will clean up temp files
[x] There is an automatically run task that will clean out the search history from the database

Note this might require some intervention from @SolomonHD to ensure the deploy user's crontab file has its path set correctly. See https://github.com/curationexperts/ansible-samvera/blob/master/roles/capistrano_setup/tasks/main.yml#L54

Remaining work: Run a cron job

The crontab had the needed info on all environments already.

And they appear to be running fine:
