Chevereto supports using external storage providers for user provided content and website assets. It support any mixture of configurations as you may need to customize.
For more information:
- External Storage documentation
- Assets Variables reference
If you are using volumes for persistent storage, permissions in the mount path must be www-data:www-data to enable Chevereto to write those volumes.
Run this command in the Chevereto container to set the right permissions:
/bin/bash -c 'chown -R www-data: _assets/ images/ importing/'Enter to the container console /bin/bash. Once there, run ls -la and you should see something like this:
www-data@20d1427c6727:~/html$ ls -la
