Thanks for mentioning that @vvanpo 🙂

I managed to get this working but do not know where to link `<subfolder>/user_avatar/<domain>`.

There is no `user_avatar` folder in the public folder. Where have you pointed (dest) your `user_avatar` symbolic link placed into `<subfolder>` ?

Thanks 😉

Edit: It seems to work without user\_avatar link. Maybe images must be rebuilded in background (sidekiq tasks) and this just take some time.
