在 Kubernetes 上使用 nginx 和 gunicorn 为 Django 静态文件提供服务

Question

I have Django application with Docker, nginx and gunicorn.

I am trying to use nginx to serve the static files but I am getting 404.

here is my nginx.conf:

events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}

http {

    upstream backend {  
        ip_hash;
        server backend:8000;
    }

    server {

        location /static {    
            autoindex on;    
            alias /api/static; 
        }

        location / {
            proxy_set_header Host $host;
            proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
            proxy_pass http://backend;
        }
        listen 80;
    }

}

kubernetes manifest file: Nginx and app are two separate containers within the same deployment.

        ports:

      - name: backend
        image: <image>
        command: ["gunicorn", "-b", ":8000", "api.wsgi"]
        imagePullPolicy: Always
        ports:
          - containerPort: 8000

settings.py

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

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

Dockerfile for nginx:

FROM nginx:latest

ADD app/api/static /api/static

ADD config/nginx /etc/nginx

WORKDIR /api

I checked in the nginx container, all static files are present in the /api directory.

You need to create a volume and share it with nginx and your django backend and then python manage.py collectstatic in that volume. But there is a problem, your cluster needs to support ReadWriteMany in accessModes for the pvc storage. If you don't have access to this you can create an application that has two containers, your django backend and nginx. Then you can share volumes between them!
