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.
