Lovelace: Picture Path

Configuration
1

Hello there

Sorry for the stupid q, but where can I store the pictures to access them directly with a Pic Glance Card?

  - type: picture-glance
    title: Media Center
    entities:
    - media_player.receiver
    image: local/images/media-center.png

I’m using nginx RevPrxy and Ubuntu 18 but am to dumb to find a lovelace folder…

Cheers, Luke

only /vaw/www and that doesn’t work.

You have to make the www folder in your /config directory.

Maybe we talk past each other.
Default config path for Ubuntu 18 is /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/{$configfiles}
Once I create the www folder, I still can’t access the files. Permissions are set and owner is homeassistant Is there a documentation for that?

See ‘hosting files’ here:

You have to restart after creating the folder in .homeassistant

Me assuming you were using hassio didn’t help either :grimacing:

After much mucking around, putting files into the config www folder, and them not showing up when called, I found an answer. Check the capitalisation on your file extension. If the file extension is saved in caps, then you have to call it in caps!
