Thank you! This worked _locally_, but on the server I’m getting 404s on the images URL. I moved content folder to the server, made sure to empty the `media` folder so that Kirby generates the `media` again. It does generate the correct structure, even the IDs match with the URLs on the public site, but no actual image files found in the folders, only `.jobs`.

Very similar to this [Moving servers and now images aren't showing up! - #3 by rasteiner](https://forum.getkirby.com/t/moving-servers-and-now-images-arent-showing-up/25795/3), but with no solution unfortunately.

I’m on DigitalOcean.
