How to configure image location

Hello, new to Jekyll and trying to transfer my blog to it. Content will be mainly R Studio markdown files. Plan to host on my own domain.
I am getting the following error when testing locally [2024-11-27 16:58:41] ERROR `/assets/images/unnamed-chunk-1-1.png’ not found.

The file I am testing is:

---
  layout: post
  title: "Testing image location"
  date: "`r Sys.Date()`"
  output:
    md_document:
      variant: gfm 
      preserve_yaml: true
  knit: (function(inputFile, encoding) {
    rmarkdown::render(inputFile,
                      encoding = encoding,
                      output_file = file.path(paste0("~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/R/blog/staRt/_posts/",
                                                  Sys.Date(),
                                                  '-',
                                                  substr(basename(inputFile), 1, nchar(basename(inputFile)) - 4),
                                                  '.md'
                                                  )
                                              )
                      )
    })
---
baseDir <- "~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/R/blog/staRt"
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
knitr::opts_knit$set(base.dir = baseDir, base.url = "/")
knitr::opts_chunk$set(fig.path = "assets/images/")   #default
knitr::render_jekyll()

Test image

library(ggplot2)
summary (mtcars)
g <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(x=disp, y=hp)) + 
	geom_point(color = "steelblue", size = 4); 
g

The new post shows on the blog but without the image, and the zsh console shows the aforementioned error:
[2024-11-27 16:58:41] ERROR `/assets/images/unnamed-chunk-1-1.png’ not found.

Can you advise how to fix this? Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!

Is it using {{ site.url }}/assets?

If {{ site.url }} is set to yourdomain.com in config.yml, it won’t show process that image.

I’m also a newb but I ran into this error when testing my site, so I may be way off.
