# Deployment Configuration

## Uploaded files

By default, uploaded files are stored in `wwwroot/uploads` for local development.

Production deployments should configure an external upload folder so application releases can be swapped without removing user files. On Linux, set the environment variable:

```text
Storage__UploadsRoot=/data/plotdirector/uploads
```

The application creates the configured folder if it does not already exist. Public upload URLs remain under `/uploads/...`.
