I need to display a series of images that are outside the root directory.
I've been reading about creating a symbolic link but I can't get my head around it at all.
In the filesystems.php file, the disk pointing to that directory is:
'communication' => [
driver' => 'local',
'root' => '/var/www/communication',
],
'links' => [
public_path('storage') => storage_path('app/public'),
],
What I think I should make is a symbolic link pointing from "/var/www/communication" to "app/public" but it's not clear to me at all.
Please, could someone help me or guide me with this issue?
Thanks in advance.

In your app/public
you need to create a symbolic link to /var/www/communication
ln -s /var/www/communication communication
Your app/public/communication
now points to /var/www/communication
.
'communication' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => public_path('communication'),
]
