404 error when accessing Django STATIC resources inside Docker image

This is the Dockerfile for my Django project:

FROM python:3.10.5-alpine

ENV PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODEBYDEFAULT=1
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1

RUN adduser --disabled-password appuser

USER appuser

WORKDIR /home/appuser/app

COPY requirements.txt .

USER root

RUN python -m pip install --no-cache-dir --disable-pip-version-check --requirement requirements.txt

USER appuser

COPY . .

ENTRYPOINT [ "./entrypoint.sh" ]

And Django settings regarding static assets:

STATIC_URL = 'static/'
STATIC_ROOT = BASE_DIR / 'static/'

And entrypoint.sh

#!/bin/sh

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py collectstatic --no-input
gunicorn project.wsgi:application --bind=0.0.0.0:8000 --workers=4 --timeout=300 --log-level=debug --log-file=-

exec "$@"

When I start the container I shell into it and see that static folder is created and populated with admin staff.

However browsing http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin brings up the admin login page without any CSS and I get lots of 404 errors in the developer console.

I also changed STATIC_ROOT to /home/appuser/app/static/ and got the same.

Please assist.

    Did you check for the permissions of the created static folder?

    I had to manually change the permissions of the folders.

    you could try with following Dockerfile for nginx:

    FROM nginx:latest

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y procps
RUN mkdir -p /home/app/staticfiles
RUN chmod -R 755 /home/app/staticfiles

    Could you try using this config.

    Django:

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

    Dockerfile:

    RUN mkdir -p /home/appuser/app/staticfiles

    Nginx.conf

    location /static/ {
    alias /home/appuser/app/staticfiles/;
}

    docker-compouse.yml something like:

    web:
container_name: test_table_django
build: .
command:
  sh -c "python manage.py collectstatic --no-input --clear &&
    python manage.py migrate &&
    gunicorn --workers=4 --bind=0.0.0.0:8000 test_table.wsgi:application"
volumes:
    - .:/home/appuser/app
    - static_volume:/home/appuser/app/staticfiles/
env_file:
  - .env.prod
expose:
  - 8000
depends_on:
  - db
restart: always

nginx:
    build: ./nginx
    container_name: test_table_nginx
    ports:
      - 80:80
    volumes:
      - static_volume:/home/appuser/app/staticfiles/

    The static URL should start with /.
    You can also check the logs to see where it is trying to reach to.

    BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent.parent

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

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