Railway.app can't find staticfiles after deployment django app

I try to deploy my app to Railway.app. App generally works but static files are not found. I have made collectstatic folder using command django manage.py collectstatic as advised in deployment tutorials but it doesn't help. Any clue what could went wrong ?

settings.py

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

staticfiles folder is situated in directory that contains menage.py file

deploy logs from railway.apps

Not Found: /staticfiles/style.css
Not Found: /staticfiles/base.css
Not Found: /staticfiles/MyImage.png
Not Found: /staticfiles/base.js
Solution

  • WhiteNoise work for me:

    pip install whitenoise

    In your settigs.py:

    INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'whitenoise.runserver_nostatic',    
]

MIDDLEWARE = [
    "django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware",
    "whitenoise.middleware.WhiteNoiseMiddleware",
]

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
STATICFILES_STORAGE="whitenoise.storage.CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage"
