usually this setup makes "www-data" the owner of /var/www/ and everything
beneath it, so you'll have to (a) do file operations as
root/sudo/administrator, (b) add yourself to www-data group and give write
permission to group, or (c) temporarily give yourself ownership and then
change it back
in order to have uploaded files deleted when removed from the database, set
"autodelete=True" in table definition "Field('image', 'upload',
autodelete=True)"
