Glide - Could not find the image error in Laravel

Question

I have a weird issue with Glide on a fresh local Laravel install (PHP 8.1.13 / Laravel 9.44.0). I followed the documentation to the letter, my route looks like this:

Route::get('/img/{path}', [ImageController::class, 'show'])->where('path', '.*');

I have an ImageController that looks like this:

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Filesystem\Filesystem;
use League\Glide\Responses\LaravelResponseFactory;
use League\Glide\ServerFactory;

class ImageController extends Controller
{
    public function show(Filesystem $filesystem, $path)
    {
        $server = ServerFactory::create([
            'response' => new LaravelResponseFactory(app('request')),
            'source' => $filesystem->getDriver(),
            'cache' => $filesystem->getDriver(),
            'cache_path_prefix' => '.cache',
        ]);

        return $server->getImageResponse($path, request()->all());
    }
}

But when I try to access an image through the correct path, it gives me a "Could not find the image storage/images/portrait-rose.jpg." error.

This is the error in laravel.log:

[2022-12-24 09:07:18] local.ERROR: Could not find the image `storage/images/gaia.jpg`. {"userId":1,"exception":"[object] (League\\Glide\\Filesystem\\FileNotFoundException(code: 0): Could not find the image `storage/images/gaia.jpg`. at C:\\wamp\\www\\jolyne\\vendor\\league\\glide\\src\\Server.php:629)

Url is: http://localhost:8000/img/storage/images/portrait-rose.jpg

And if I try to access http://localhost:8000/storage/images/portrait-rose.jpg the image definitely shows up. What could be the issue there?

Thanks in advance.
