uploaded file duplication in host and container by laravel file storage

Question

I configured the laravel application in the docker container on the Ubuntu server. Files uploaded with laravel file storage and linked php artisan storage:link . Files uploaded to laravel storage are available in both container and host.

Doesn't that mean duplication of the uploaded files, for example it exists in docker container also in project source code in ubuntu server?

I know that best way of storing uploaded files is some external space like aws s3, digitalocean spaces...

Answer 1

No there is no duplication. The files only exist once on the host machine and are mounted in the container as views (read/write)
