Hi, I have created a volume and mounted path to "/image_storage" and I want to make it available in my frontend for displaying images. I have created the directories in the volume and checked them in the browser, they are all fine. I have tried many paths, but I think this one is closed. Volume is mounted to server that saves images to the volume. Would be glad for any help.

/image_storage/products/product_id/file_name

Yout backend would need code to read the files off disk and serve them publicly, this is not something Railway does for you.

Is there some other way to store files from backend and display them to frontend in Railway ?

Nothing Railway native, you would need to write code to serve the files off disk over the network.

Any tips on what I should try to achieve this? Any keywords, I'm a bit lost at this point.

What framework?

Additionally, please stop using nodemon in production.

I used Nods.js with Express.js and React for the frontend.
