You need to set the folder user ownership at your server.

• Make sure the destination directory is owned by the user running rsync.
• Use chown to change ownership if needed. For example: sudo chown -R user /path/to/destination

"user" is your server username

Also if you do not have the rsync installed in your linux server, you need to run

sudo apt update && sudo apt install rsync -y

Hey @michellavezzo I managed to get it working after installing Rsync—thank you so much!

Regarding ownership permissions, I encountered a similar issue while using LAMP Packaged by Bitnami on a Lightsail VPS. I couldn't create files until I stumbled upon this fix:

sudo chown -R bitnami:daemon /opt/bitnami/apache/htdocs
sudo chmod -R g+w /opt/bitnami/apache/htdocs

Do you think this setup should work fine?

I've got another question about the rsync options. It appears that the deployment doesn't work when specifying exclusions without these options: --archive --verbose --compress --human-readable --progress --delete-after. Are these necessary? If so, any idea why?

Thanks in advance for your help! 🙏

To be honest, I don't know how to answer your questions hehe, but I hope a good citizen has his answers.
