Save uploaded image to local directory possible?

I’d like to be able to add an upload component on the web page and have it save the file (image) to a local directory so that I can use it to bind on page.

I’m following the directions on uploading files here here but it doesn’t save the file into the local directory.

Also, I followed the directions here and am able to insert the filename into the database

Also, I tried adding a save image step for a server action and it’s still not working.

Does the fact that I’m running on a local docker target matter?
