I want to use DDEV as a local development environment. The setup was successful and the website (a WordPress) is running.
Currenty our team is using XAMPP and to avoid downloading large files on every local machine we create symbolic links (e.g. the "uploads" folder in WordPress). The target is a network drive. So everyone in our team has access to the same files.
Now I want to do the same with DDEV. In WSL I mounted the network drive and created a symbolic link. Inside the console I have full access to the mounted directory, I can create, edit and remove files.
But when I access a file with the browser I get the following error message:
403 Forbidden. You don't have permission to access this resource.
The same error occurs when I try to upload a new file within WordPress.
Is there any way to give the webserver the permission to view and modify the files on a network drive?
The Webserver is an Apache/2.4.38.
As @rfay mentioned I had to add the network drive as volume so it's accessible by the web container. Therefore I created a new docker-compose-file within the .ddev directory (see also in the docs: https://ddev.readthedocs.io/en/stable/users/extend/custom-compose-files/#docker-compose42yaml-examples).
Additionally the permissions on the network drive were incorrect.
