I’m trying to deply my django site, and I did to my ip address, but when I load page online it doesn’t load static files. I tried changing different settings on a server and on django files, but I’m out of ideas. I would appreciate a pair of fresh eyes.

Please note that I followed this tutorial (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-django-with-postgres-nginx-and-gunicorn-on-ubuntu) and everything went well as explained in tutorial, apart from loading static files. When I tested port :8000, static was loaded.

for sites-available I did this:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/django-site

Output:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name xx.xx.xxx.xx; #my ip address

    location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }

    location /static/ {
        alias /home/muser/django-site/staticfiles/;
    }

    location / {
        include proxy_params;
        proxy_pass http://unix:/run/gunicorn.sock;
    }
}

this is settings.py

STATIC_URL = 'static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
        os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
]

#media
MEDIA_URL = 'media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = BASE_DIR / 'media'

It might be that this is all correct, but it might be that urls aren’t set up properly. So please see urls.py

urlpatterns = i18n_patterns(
    path(_('admin/'), admin.site.urls),
    path('rosetta/', include('rosetta.urls')),
    path('', include('my_app.urls', namespace='my_app')),
)
if settings.DEBUG:
    urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL,document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
    urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL,document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)

Any ideas what I did wrong? Thanks in advance!
