I am building a simple blog application where only I would be uploading the images and text of the blog from admin dashboard. I used whitenoise in production, with static files like css js and logo images etc. were loading correectly, but the media files of the blog were not being served. I explore the web and got to know that due to security considerations, static files and media files are separated with media files being loaded from storage services like S3 bucket etc. But in my case, only me, not any external user would be uploading the images for the blog from admin dashboard, so the security risk doesn’t seem to apply here. (correct me if I am wrong here). So, to serve the media files from whitenoise what I did was to make static root and media root as same location, and used {% static %} to serve the blog images instead of media url. Now the application is working as it should, but I am concerned whether this approach is suitable in the long run or not. Please advise if there is any downside of using this approach for simple application like blogging websites.
