Card image

I inserted a lovelace image card with a personal image url. But if I access from a PC I see the image perfectly, while from an Android app or browser I don’t see the image

Is the image in your config/www folder and are you using /local/… for the image url?

No … I created a photo folder in / config. I inserted and opened the photo from there. Then I copied the link and pasted it into the url entry

That will only work on your local network.

It has to be in the config/www folder (or a subfolder in that) to be served up outside your local network.

You also have to restart after creating the www folder.

Thanks for the directions I will try as soon as possible. One last thing … Why if I insert instead the url of the esp32 cam always in the images tab setting live I don’t see the cam from the outside? How do I insert a card to view the cams from outside the home?
