Filesystem Disks - How to manage public disks?

[radmanz]

I currently have an issue where im unable to access a tenants files that have been sucessfully uploaded and stored within the ./storage/tenant_id/app/public/ folder.
I can upload files fine, and they reside within the ./storage/tenant_id/app/public/ folder of the project.
My issue is that i cannot access the files from each tenant. I can only access a single tenants files by symlinking the ./storage/tenant_id/app/public/ -> ./public/storage .

Can anyone give me some pointers as to how I am supposed to setup public storage access for each tenant, so as each tenant may continue to use something like the /storage route to access public files.
Is there a way for php artisan storage:link to faciliate the automation to symlink stoarge to publicly accessable folders?

To give further context as to how my filesystem config is setup, please see the following disks array

'public' => [
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => storage_path('app/public'),
            'url' => env('APP_URL').'/storage',
            'visibility' => 'public',
        ],

You support is greafully appreciated 😊

Hi,

You can't make a symlink, because the storage directory is variable - it depends on the current tenant's id.

Try using Storage::disk('public') to store the files, and tenant_asset('app/public/...') to get a link to the asset.

hi @stancl ,
Thanks for the help!
I was using spatie/laravel-medialibrary in the case above which was the most confusing part. I found that tenant_asset() was able to parse the media object created by laravel-medialibary which has resolved my support ticket above.

Hey @radmanz

Would you mind sharing the code of how you were able to render images in blades? I'm having precisely the same issue of being able to easily upload files but unable to get them to display. Also are you retaining the default folder structure of:
Storage-->tenant[insert_id]-->app-->public

Thanks in advance.

<img src="{{ asset('foo.jpg') }}"> or <img src="{{ asset('public/foo.jpg') }}">

<img src="{{ asset('foo.jpg') }}"> or <img src="{{ asset('public/foo.jpg') }}">

Using asset requires a full framework boot. If I have 10 images, that will boot the framework 10 times. Is that correct? Is there any way to access the tenant's image via: Storage::disk('public')->url(tenant()->id . '/image.jpg');?

Thank you for your help!

Can't find it right now, but there's some issue thread about this (the Storage url approach).

The private images going under the path storage/app or storage/app/tenant/app?

@radmanz @stancl. Is there any more information on this?

I'm experiencing the same, but using tenant_asset('app/public/') makes a URL looking like: tenancy/assets/app/public I am also using Spate image library, but have also tried uploading with Storage::disk('public')->put("...) asset does not work either. But I can render images from the storage/app/public

[stancl]

Try global_asset()

[Bottelet]

@stancl No luck, I can do global_asset('storage/' which gets an image, if I moved it to the non-tenant folder, but I wanna access the images in the tenant storage folder.
