image is shown blurred for 2s, then dissapears and gives 404 after a while

[lotje-kinable]

Hi

Laravel7, Ubuntu 18.04.5, php 7.4

On my local machine all works well, responsive images/conversions... however I cloned my repo to a Digital Ocean droplet and I used the command 'php artisan storage:link' and the images are shown blurred for about 2s and then I get a 404 on the link to the image. I disabled 'responsive images' and later 'conversions' and I can't even get the normal image (I deleted all db entries and started fresh after disabling them.)

when I run php artisan storage:link, I get:
The [/var/www/htmls/public/storage] link has been created

So maybe this is wrong? Or do I need to configure the sites-available/default differently... ?

I'm a little lost atm, I don't know where to start or what to include, I was hoping someone might recognise this and point out something I just missed... otherwise, please ask which files you would like to see to be able to help me out!

This is the first time I post something anywhere, so please point out any mistakes/corrections!

Thanks in advance!

ps. I've only been programming in Laravel for 6 months :-)
