nginx django static cannot fully serve my files(403 permission denied)

I've been dealing with nginx for about 1 week. I have 4 services that I set up with docker, django postgresql fastapi and nginx, but nginx does not serve django's static files. I'm facing 403 error. I tried the solutions of all similar error fields, but it doesn't work (file permission granting file path control) below I am sharing the files I use please help.

I presume you want to serve Django static files in Nginx (reverse proxy feature in that case).You lack binding Nginx with Gunicorn served port and static file catalogue here.
So you will need to configure nginx to do that in the conf file.
For example. file default.conf
upstream backend {
server app:8000;
}
server {
listen 80;
# Django admin (if implemented)
location /admin {
proxy_pass http://backend;
autoindex off;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_redirect off;
}
# Django static assests.
location /static/ {
autoindex off;
alias /usr/src/app/staticfiles/; # if thats where you copied your app files in docker container
}
Also will need static files to be configured in settings.py
STATIC_URL = "/static/"
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "staticfiles")
static files regards catalogue in project root.
You will also have to make some dirs in Dockerfile for Django before you will copy project - in order to avoid error in collectstatic.
$WORKDIR your_workdir_path_in_docker_cotainer
# Make static files dirs in order to avoid error from collectstatic.
RUN mkdir $WORKDIR/staticfiles && \
mkdir $WORKDIR/staticfiles/admin && \ # if you implemented - to keep css/js
mkdir $WORKDIR/staticfiles/rest_framework #if you using DRF - to keep css/js
Last thing is to add add collectstatic command in you Docker-compose section where Gunicorn is started like.
command: >
sh -c "python manage.py migrate --noinput &&
python manage.py collectstatic --no-input &&
gunicorn config.wsgi:application --bind 0.0.0.0:8000"
Maybe its worthy to create separate Dockerfile for Nginx
FROM nginx:1.21-alpine
RUN rm /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
COPY your_path_for_file/default.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d
CMD ["nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"] # To start Nginx
You can start that aditional container in Docker-compose by specifying path to Dockerfile
dockerfile: your_path_to_nginx_dockerfile/Dockerfile.nginx

Can't serve Django static files with NGINX

I'm trying to deploy a Django and React website using gunicorn, nginx and docker.
I can't get nginx to read my static files for example the django admin panel. I already ran python manage.py collecstatic and the files are in recommendations-be/backend/static
Here is the docker-compose.yml file:
version: '3'
services:
backend:
build:
context: ./recommendations-be
command: gunicorn backend.wsgi:application --bind 0.0.0.0:8000 --timeout 0
ports:
- "8000:8000"
volumes:
- static:/django/backend/static
frontend:
build:
context: ./recommendations-fe
volumes:
- react_build:/react/build
nginx:
image: nginx:latest
ports:
- "80:8080"
volumes:
- ./nginx/nginx-setup.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:ro
- react_build:/var/www/react
- static:/django/backend/static
depends_on:
- backend
- frontend
volumes:
static:
react_build:
Here is my nginx conf file:
upstream api {
server backend:8000;
}
server {
listen 8080;
location / {
root /var/www/react;
}
location /api/ {
proxy_pass http://api;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
}
location /static/ {
alias /django/backend/static;
}
}
Here's the Dockerfile in backend directory recommendations-be:
FROM python:3.10.8-slim-buster
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1
WORKDIR /django
COPY requirements.txt requirements.txt
RUN pip install --upgrade pip --no-cache-dir
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt --no-cache-dir
COPY . .
And the django settings.py:
STATIC_URL = "/static/"
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "backend", "static")
Here is the file structure in my project: file structure

In your nginx configuration, please make the following change:
location /static/ {
alias /static/
}
Then, in your docker-compose.yml file, in the volume definitions of Nginx, please replace the line
- static:/django/backend/static
with the following:
- static:/static
Nginx should now be able to serve your static files.

docker nginx django gunicorn not serving static files in production

Trying to deploy website with nginx + gunicorn + docker + django. But ngingx isn't serving static files. Following are the configurations:

FROM nginx container, it isn't copying static files.
What do I need to change to make it working?

Your files are located at your website container, you need to share it, with the nginx container:
services:
website:
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile.app
env_file:
- env
container_name: website_container_8
volumes:
- static:/app/forex/static/admin/ #<-- you want to share this
nginx:
build: ./nginx
volumes:
- static:/app/forex/static/admin/ #<-- with this folder
ports:
- "80:80"
depends_on:
- website
volumes:
static: #<-- you can do it through this

Nginx not serving my Flask website

I am following this example and this answer on stackoverflow and I am stuck.
I am running this example on a digitalocean VPS. My file structure is as follows:

After I run the command docker-compose up -d, I check the www.XXXXXX.com:8880, or www.XXXXXX.com:8080 from another web client on another system.
I get the standard nginx web page.
How do I redirect it to the home.html?

Take a step back and run the Flask app alone.
You have some syntax errors.
from flask import Flask, render_template
app=Flask(__name__)
#app.route('/')
def home(): # Remove double brackets
return render_template('home.html') # The templates folder is already picked up
if __name__=="__main__":
app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=5000)
Then in a Docker container, and without gunicorn
FROM python:3.5
RUN mkdir /mainweb
COPY . /mainweb
WORKDIR /mainweb
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
EXPOSE 5000
CMD ["python3","/mainweb/app.py"]
And run it, and see if it works.
cd mainapp
docker build -t flask:test .
docker run --rm -p 5000:5000 flask:test
Open http://server:5000
Then start on docker-compose with just that container and define nginx if you want.
nginx/Dockerfile
FROM nginx:1.13.1-alpine
ADD flask.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/
EXPOSE 8080
nginx/flask.conf (I changed this based on a file that I have in a project)
server {
listen 8080; # This is the port to EXPOSE in nginx container
server_name app; # You can change this, but not necessary
charset utf-8;
location ^~ /static/ {
alias /usr/share/nginx/html/;
}
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ #flask;
}
location #flask {
proxy_pass http://app:5000; # This is the port Flask container EXPOSE'd
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X_Forwared-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}
And finally, the compose. You don't want to have your site exposing both 5000 and 80 (you don't want people to bypass nginx), so just don't expose 5000
