Let me see if I can get one ready within 15 minutes

No but if that changed things that leans to a bug in docker as this is just simple filesystem work?

that is an easy thing to test. It never occurred to me to test the release compiled app without docker. If that one works, then it must be a bug with docker, or something.

Or some interaction with the filesystem being used perhaps. What’s the host OS and FS too?

I gave up on trying to get it to work. I decided to just Base64 encode the image and send it inline within the HTML data. This is working perfectly in production now, which means it is probably not an issue with the OS or file system.
Once the app gets proper usage, I’ll be redoing most of the infrastructure, so images will be stored on S3, which will make this problem irrelevant anyhow.
Anyways if somebody comes across this problem in the future, let me know. I can revisit it then, and we can work on it together.

In case someone else is looking for a solution. I had a similar issue.
In my endpoint.ex I had …
plug Plug.Static,
at: "/",
from: :fast_inventory_system,
gzip: false,
only: ~w(css fonts images js favicon.ico robots.txt)
plug Plug.Static,
at: "/",
from: {:fast_inventory_system, "priv/stock_images"},
gzip: true
But the code which handled the uploads put it in the wrong directory. It only worked locally, but not when we deployed with releases.
File.write!("priv/stock_images", "foo.jpg")
It needs to consider the app_dir:
File.write!(Application.app_dir(:fast_inventory_system, "priv/stock_images/foo.jpg")
Hope this helps

Instead of changing where to place the file i’ve adjusted the source directory. Useful for edeliver/distillery setup.
plug Plug.Static, at: "/uploads", from: {:your_app, "../../uploads"}

I spent the entire afternoon and half a morning trying to fix this issue as well.
Turns out that in production (with Gigalixir) Path.expand goes to app/uploads which @supernova32 is aware of, but the upload goes to the same place that it did (I’m using Waffle/the updated Arc library)
The simple solution is to simply hardcode the directory from which we are serving the assets from.
i.e.
plug(Plug.Static,
at: "/uploads",
from: "./uploads",
gzip: false
)
instead of
from: Path.expand("./uploads/"),
I haven’t tested it again in a dev environment but hopefully it should help someone else save some time, because this is a very simple fix that shouldn’t have taken me, or anyone else, more than 15 minutes 
.

Hi all,
I have issue with retrieving/accessing the images, my images are saved under priv/static/waffle/uploads/ and this is my plug:

gzip: false
and I am getting Phoenix.Router.NoRouteError…
need help…

what is the route you’re trying to reach? does it have a corresponding file in priv/static/waffle/uploads? please post the full error message if possible
