Docs basically says I need a envoyer-root/storage folder alongside with envoyer-root/current and envoyer-root/releases and then use a system link to link envoyer-root/storage to envoyer-root/releases/{latest one}/public/storage in order to read those files.
What nobody seems to explain is, where are the newly uploaded files saved to? By my application, they'd be uploaded to envoyer-root/releases/{latest one}/public/storage but that wont make it accessible for the new releases.
Do I have to create a post-deploy and manually copy all the files from the previous release to the envoyer-root/storage folder and THEN linking it? Am I missing something?
PD: for references, I'm using Envoyer with a non-laravel project, so I need to understand if I have to modify my source code to work with Envoyer (which seems smelly to me but w/e we already paid for it), or if I don't and I'm not seeing something.
Use the "Linked Folders" (within the Deployment hooks tab) to create a symlink from the currently deployed release to a shared storage folder on the server.
So in your case, you'd want to create a symlink from the currently deployed release to the envoyer-root/storage. In Envoyer, the link from/link at is relative to the "PHP project root", which is your currently deployed release, and the to link is relative to the server root, so you'd have:
Create link at: public/storage (relative to release path)
To: storage (relative to server root)
Symlinks created through the linked folders feature are created on each deployment, so it will always create a symlink for each new release.
