Images uploaded through ActiveStorage disappear after Dokku deployment

I successfully deployed my Rails application to my DigitalOcean droplet through Dokku. After deploying it, I started uploading images to my site. After pushing a new version and redeploying the app, the uploaded images disappeared.

Now, I've already read that Dokku uses ephemeral storage. I've tried following a guide to make it persistent storage, but with no success.

This is the command that I tried:

dokku storage:mount underlords /var/lib/dokku/data/storage:/storage

After redeployment, it still didn't work.

If you are using persistent storage, note that the second path is an absolute path within your app container. It is not relative to the /app directory, but relative to the root path. This means that you should be saving your files to /storage and not /app/storage.
