For those wondering how to configure persistent storage for the public folder(where strapi upload stuff), follow these steps before deploying your app on Coolify.
- Click on the Configuration tab
- Clock on the Storages menu option
- Click Add to add a new location to store stuff
- Under the Volume Mount heading, enter the values for the name & destination path
- Ensure that the destination path starts with
/app. So for persisting the public folder items, the destination path should be set to/app/public - Click the Save button that is below the Volume Mount section.
- Redeploy your app.
- Go to the url and log into your Strapi app then upload something.
- Redeploy your app
- Log back into strapi to see if the file is still there and can be viewed in a new window
