How can I obtain the absolute url (i.e. that of the server) of a file I've just uploaded please ?

Here's my code, I want the file in my database to be saved as "https:example.com/uploads/products/product-1.jpg" and not as "product-1.jpg", what should I do? :

async store({ request, response }: HttpContext) {
    const data = request.all()
    const payload = await createProductValidator.validate(data)

    const { thumbnail } = await request.validateUsing(updateProductImageValidator)

    const product = await Product.create(payload)

    await thumbnail.move(app.makePath('uploads/products'))

    product.thumbnail = thumbnail.fileName!
    await product.save()

    console.log(thumbnail.fileName!)

    return response.status(201).json({ message: 'Product created !' })
  }

I just did this and I don't know if it's the solution:

const absoluteUrl = `${env.get('APP_URL')}/uploads/products/${thumbnail.fileName}`

It sends me the type of url I want but I can't see the file when I click on it, is this the right way to do it please?

I've just found the solution 🥳😊
Here it is:

1 - file ".env" :
APP_URL=http://localhost:8000
2 - router.ts

import { sep, normalize } from 'node:path'
import app from '@adonisjs/core/services/app'

const PATH_TRAVERSAL_REGEX = /(?:^|[\\/])\.\.(?:[\\/]|$)/

router.get('/uploads/*', ({ request, response }) => {
  const filePath = request.param('*').join(sep)
  const normalizedPath = normalize(filePath)

  if (PATH_TRAVERSAL_REGEX.test(normalizedPath)) {
    return response.badRequest('Malformed path')
  }

  const absolutePath = app.makePath('uploads', normalizedPath)
  return response.download(absolutePath)
})

3 - store :

async store({ request, response }: HttpContext) {
   const data = request.all()
   const payload = await createProductValidator.validate(data)

   const { thumbnail } = await request.validateUsing(updateProductImageValidator)

   const product = await Product.create(payload)

   await thumbnail.move(app.makePath('uploads/products'))

   const absoluteUrl = `${env.get('APP_URL')}/uploads/products/${thumbnail.fileName}`

   product.thumbnail = absoluteUrl!
   await product.save()

   return response.status(201).json({ message: 'Product created !' })
 }
