How to remove automatic search by static in FLASK?

Question

Python

It is necessary, using flask python, on the local server (website) to upload pictures from a folder outside the static folder. Those. how can I replace the automatic search for images in the static folder, for example, with absolutely any path on the user's computer?

Answer 1

You can solve this problem in different ways, for example:
Make a symbolic link to the folder.
And you can do it through CUSTOM_STATIC_PATH, which you describe in the config and write
return send_from_directory(app.config['CUSTOM_STATIC_PATH'], filename=filename, mimetype='image/jpeg')
In general, if you describe the problem more precisely, you can more accurately describe its solution))
