How, and why, to create the Silverstripe Caching folder

If you’re working with Silverstripe CMS, the silverstripe-cache folder will:

Optimize performance by providing a dedicated location for the various temporary files that Silverstripe generates and stores to enhance its performance and the user experience. Otherwise these files can clutter other system directories, like the /tmp folder, and cause performance issues.
Make maintenance easier by giving you one folder to manage and clean up temporary files when you need to. This is especially useful when you’re troubleshooting or upgrading Silverstripe.
Lower the load on the server by preventing temporary files from accumulating in system-wide directories, where they can overload the server, slow it down, or even cause crashes.

Creating the silverstripe-cache Folder

SSH into your container.
Navigate to the root directory of your Silverstripe project, where your project’s primary files are located. Usually this should be:
```
$cd /container/application/
```
Create the silverstripe-cache folder:
```
$ mkdir silverstripe-cache
```
Assign the folder the preferred permissions:
```
$ chmod 0777 silverstripe-cache
```
Edit the .env file in your /container/application directory to add the new cache directory:
```
SS_TEMP_PATH="/container/application/silverstripe-cache"
```
Reboot the container for your changes to take effect.
