Storage:link to Public

[collectiveconscious]

Hi there,

When I upload the file goes to storage/domain/app/public. I tried to create a symlink for this directory but it says. public/storage already exists for default linking.

I used php artisan storage:link --domain=domain-address

How do I create a symlink for each domain?
or
How do I use the default storage directory for all domains?

Hi,

due to the behavior of the storage:link command in Laravel, that command write always the same link name, so, to date, you have to do symbolic manually if you want to target a different folder for each domain. I hope in future Laravel versions they update the command allowing to choose a custom link name (I will try to do a pull request when I have time)

I close the issue as this is already discussed: please refer to #11 for further details.

Cheers,

Giacomo

what if I don't want to use the domain/storage path. I want to use the laravel default public path for all domains.

How would I go about that in domains.php?

The other article does not help me much

I tried this, but no effect.

Hi,

I'm not sure to understand your point, but if you want to target the same folder from each domain, you must not use storage_path because my package override that function targeting the storage folder of each domain.
I think you might use, for example, base_path('storage/app/public')

I don't know if this helps

Okay

Great I created a separate disk and gave its root base_path('storage/app/public'). Now everything is good.
