create storage link in lumen

I saw some questions about, people say to run this command

ln -s ../storage/app/public public/storage

And it works, it copies the folder, but it doesn't update when another file/image is added to the storage folder, you have to run the command again to be able to get it.

How do I make it equal to Laravel, that the public folder is always 'copying' the storage files?

Version: "laravel/lumen-framework": "^8.3.1", "league/flysystem": "1.1"

First, make sure the storage/app/public folder exists. if not, please create a new one.

Then run:

ln -sfv ~/path/to/storage/app/public ~/path/to/public/storage

Then, move files at storage/app/public

Now you should be able to access assets like this:

http://localhost:8000/storage/logo.png

Lumen/Laravel way to create symlink:

app()->make('files')
    ->link(storage_path('app/public'), rtrim(app()->basePath('public/storage/'), '/'));

updated. Create a command example:

php artisan make:command FilesLinkCommand

then next file will be created: app/Console/Commands/FilesLinkCommand.php

Open it and change some thingth:

  1. better command signature: protected $signature = 'files:link';

  2. command description: protected $description = 'Create symlink link for files';

  3. command code, update method handle():

public function handle(): void
{
    // check if exists public/storage
    if ( file_exists(app()->basePath('public/storage/')) ) {
        $this->error("Symlink exists!");
        exit(0);
    }
    // check if exists storage/app/public
    if ( !file_exists(storage_path('app/public')) ) {
        $this->error("Storage folder [app/public] not exists!");
        exit(0);
    }
    // actually, we can create folders if not exists
    // using mkdir() php function, or File::makeDirectory()
    // but the second one still uses mkdir() behind the scene

    app()->make('files')
        ->link(storage_path('app/public'), rtrim(app()->basePath('public/storage/'), '/'));
    $this->info("Symlink created!");
}

That's all we need!

Using: php artisan files:link

If command run first time you will see message Symlink created, next time it will be changed to Symlink exists!

php function symlink() can do the same
