How do I handle media files in Django deployment?

In Django, you can handle media files by configuring your settings.py file to define MEDIA_URL and MEDIA_ROOT.

What should I set MEDIA_URL and MEDIA_ROOT to?

MEDIA_URL is the URL that serves the media files, while MEDIA_ROOT is the filesystem path where the files are stored. For example:

MEDIA_URL = '/media/' MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media/')

How do I serve these files in production?

In production, you should use a web server like Nginx or Apache to serve media files. Configure it to point to your MEDIA_ROOT.

Is there a way to upload files through the Django admin?

Yes, you can use Django's built-in FileField or ImageField in your models to allow file uploads through the admin interface.
