Public directory

Your applications public path is the entry point to your application. This is typically the directory which has your index.php file. Other files such as assets, images, CSS, and JavaScript files are server from this directory as well. Amezmo provides a way to change your public path from the dashboard. Go to your instance's Configuration tab to change this setting.

By default, Nginx will first check to see if a file exists in your public document root, and then route all requests to an index.php file in the public document root that you've chosen.

File uploads

Publicly accessible files can be served from your public document root. By creating a symbolic link from a directory inside your public document root into the /webroot/storage/public directory, you can perist file uploads across deployments. Learn more about persistent storage.

Amezmo creates this directory for you at instance launch time and you are encouraged to use it as the persistent public storage area for your app. Amezmo has tested a set of recommended file permissions

The following deployment hook snippet has been tested and is the recommended way of setting up a persistent public storage directory.

This file should be created in your repo at .amezmo/after.pull.

#!/bin/bash

# Make sure we fail our deployment if this hook fails.
set -e;

# More commands executed here.
# Please see https://www.amezmo.com/docs/deployments/dependencies
# for a full example

# APPLICATION_ROOT is a default variable provided at hook execution time
echo "Running this hook from ${APPLICATION_ROOT}";

# Create our symbolic link to point our public storage directory
# to our persistent storage directory
ln \
    --symbolic \
    --force \
    --no-dereference \
    /webroot/storage/public "${APPLICATION_ROOT}/public/storage";
