Laravel Forge storage

Uploaded images are processed into JPEGs and written to:

storage/app/public/items/{uuid}/{image-uuid}.jpg

The public /storage/... URL requires Laravel's storage link. Run this from the Forge site directory after each deployment:

php artisan storage:link

A typical Forge deployment script should also include:

chmod -R ug+rwX storage bootstrap/cache
php artisan storage:link
php artisan config:clear

Verify the link, saved file, and web-server access with:

ls -ld storage/app/public public/storage
readlink -f public/storage
find storage/app/public/items -type f | tail -n 5
curl -I https://index.ayoung.co/storage/items/{uuid}/{image-uuid}.jpg

public/storage must resolve to the current site's storage/app/public directory. A missing or stale link causes uploaded files to return HTTP 404 even when image processing and storage succeeded.

Use cases

• Upcycling and repurposing materials
• Home inventory management
• Personal knowledge management
