Picture-elements card, where to store my picture?

Installation Home Assistant OS

Hi, sorry if this is a dumb question but I can’t see where to store my picture for the picture-elements card.

Tried saving it to the root of the sd card where my HASSIO is running, also tried making a folder called ‘local’, stored it in there but no joy. Also tried pointing to google photo’s.

Viewed many video tutorials but still doesn’t work.

Now I’m stuck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Create a folder in the config folder called www. Restart ha. From now on /local refers to www, create subfolders if you wish.

Thanks Eggman - worked perfectly!

Where is this documented?

Tried so many options, thank you so much - I have spent two days trying to figure this out, my last resort was to ask here.

Thanks again.

Tbh I’m not sure if or where this is documented. I’ve just seen the answer before and tried it out.

I’m glad it worked for you.

Thanks again.

I love HA but I just become demoralised when I get to a challenge that I can’t solve myself. I feel like a newbie asking stupid questions although I am an older person and have been tinkering with HA for years.

Many thanks for your help - you have made me a very happy man, this weekend.
