Hey friend!
This is going to be very relative to your situation and setup, but I’m going to make some assumptions here and see if I can point you in the right direction.
Let’s say you’re deploying your website at /var/www/html and you have the images in /var/www/html/images. Then you create index.html in /var/www/html with that code sample you gave. If that were the case, I would perhaps change it to:
