Got "chmod(): Operation not permitted" after changing FILESYSTEM_DRIVER from local to public

in the .env

FILESYSTEM_DRIVER=public

in the config/filesystems.php

    'local' => [
        'driver' => 'local',
        'root' => storage_path('app'),
    ],

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

however uploaded file did saved into the storage/app/public directory instead of the storage/app after the change. How to resolve this issue.

Sail runs a linux docker image, and chmod is used to change the permissions on files and directories.

So what this tells you is that laravel isn't permitted to change the permissions to the files.

I suggest you stick with local and try running php artisan storage:link

@tray2 thanks for your reply.

I found the problem I started the sail containers through Docker Desktop. I should have started it from command line using: sail up -d. With the latter, no more chmod permssion issue.

Got the hint from this thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66240492/laravel-sail-composer-require-chmod-directory-attributes-error-operation-n
