How do I serve static files in Django using Docker Compose?

To serve static files in Django with Docker Compose, you need to configure your Django settings and Docker setup.

What changes do I need to make in my settings.py?

In your settings.py, set STATIC_URL and STATIC_ROOT. For example: STATIC_URL = '/static/' and STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles').

How do I configure my Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml?

In your Dockerfile, ensure you collect static files using 'python manage.py collectstatic'. In docker-compose.yml, mount the static files directory.

Can you provide an example of a docker-compose.yml file?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

version: '3'
services:
  web:
    build: .
    volumes:
      - staticfiles:/app/staticfiles
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"
volumes:
  staticfiles:
