On my older server (Ubuntu 18.04), I would just be able to create block storage and mount it in my droplet, and create a symlink to the mounted directory into the /public_html directory for media uploads. With write permissions, uploads from my website would work.
On my new setup (Ubuntu 20.04), when I do the same thing, it does not allow write access whatever permissions I set. Is there a new/differnt way to do this?
