I have a small site deployed on digital oceans apps platform and images I have placed in the public/images folder are not displaying.

below is my image tag any help would be appreciated

          src="{{ asset('images/port_site.png') }}"
          class="h-48 w-full shadow-2xl rounded-lg mx-auto"/>

If folder structure is the same, what worked in development should still work.

Did you do the symlink.

I did symlink storage to public but that would only matter if I was storing and accesing my photos from storage in local environment correct?

What does the url of the img SRC look like? Can you post an example?
