nginx unable to load media files – 404 (Not found) – Docker

I have tried everything to serve my media file but yet getting same 404 error. Please guide.

My docker-compose file:

My nginx configuration file:

upstream realestate_frontend_site {
    server realestate_frontend:8092;
}

server {
    listen 8000;
    access_log /home/inara/RealEstatePreProd/realestate_frontend-access.log;
    error_log /home/inara/RealEstatePreProd/realestate_frontend-error.log;
    client_max_body_size 0;
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://realestate_frontend_site;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_redirect off;
        client_max_body_size 0;

    }
}

upstream realestate_backend_site {
    server realestate_backend:8091;
}

server {
    listen 8000;
    access_log /home/inara/RealEstatePreProd/realestate_backend-access.log;
    error_log /home/inara/RealEstatePreProd/realestate_backend-error.log;
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://realestate_backend_site;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_redirect off;
    }
     location /static {
        root /home/inara/RealEstatePreProd;
    }

    location /media/ {      
        alias /home/inara/RealEstatePreProd/media/;
    }
}

All the APIs are working fine but any media file gives 404.

I have checked the volume and validated that files being accessed are present there.
I logged in my docker container and validated file presence in media folder there too.

Please guide what did I miss ??

I expect to access my media files but getting 404

Edit: My settings.py file:

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

where MAIN_DIR = '/home/inara/RealEstatePreProd'

I have also tried BASE_DIR

Files are being uploaded to media directory as well as volume but I am unable to access them via browser. Exact error in nginx is:
