Adding local pictures to dashboard picture card - what path to use?

[hassiopi]

If you put the image in /config/www, then the image will be exposed to the internet. If someone gets the link to the image, they will have access…

The method I use is in this post:

Configure picture-elements card with authenticated image

I have been using this gallery-card, which can be installed via HACS. My setting in the dashboard: type: custom:gallery-card entities: - path: media-source://media_source/local/ring-videos recursive: false show_reload: false menu_alignment: hidden maximum_files: '1' (Note: looks like the author of gallery-card won’t be updating it anymore, and has been using frigate card)

Basically using the “gallery-card” installed via HACS. Then the gallery card will have access to the image stored in a directory not exposed to the internet.
