I have a minikube running with the deployment of django app. Till today, we used server which django spins up. Now, I have added another Nginx container so that we can deploy django app cause I read django is not really for production. After reading some documentation and blogs, I configured the deployment.yaml file and it is running very much fine now. The problem is that no static content is being served. This is really because static content is in django container and not Nginx container. (Idk if they can share volume or not, please clarify this doubt or misconception) What will be the best way so I can serve my static content? This is my deployment file's spec:
spec:
containers:
- name: user-django-app
image: my-django-app:latest
ports:
- containerPort: 8000
env:
- name: POSTGRES_HOST
value: mysql-service
- name: POSTGRES_USER
value: admin
- name: POSTGRES_PASSWORD
value: admin
- name: POSTGRES_PORT
value: "8001"
- name: POSTGRES_DB
value: userdb
- name: user-nginx
image: nginx
volumeMounts:
- name: nginx-config
mountPath: /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
subPath: nginx.conf
volumes:
- name: nginx-config
configMap:
name: nginx-config
I believe that
server {
location /static {
alias /var/www/djangoapp/static;
}
}
needs to be changed. But I don't know what should I write? Also, how can I run python manage.py migrate
and python manage.py collectstatic
as soon as the deployment is made.
Kindly provide resource/docs/blogs which will assist me doing this. Thank you. Thank you.
After @willrof 's answer, this is my current YAML file.
apiVersion: apps/v1

spec:

}
location /static {
alias /var/www/user/static;
}
}
# include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
}
I did not write this config but found this and edited to my use.
After our chat in comments, you told me you are having difficulties with using cmd and args.
Here is an example called two-containers.yaml
:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: two-containers
spec:
restartPolicy: Never
containers:
- name: python
image: python
volumeMounts:
- name: shared-data
mountPath: /pod-data
command: ["/bin/sh"]
args: ["-c", "apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl && mkdir /curl-folder && cp /usr/bin/curl /curl-folder && cp -r /curl-folder /pod-data/"]
- name: user-nginx
image: nginx
volumeMounts:
- name: shared-data
mountPath: /tmp/pod-data
volumes:
- name: shared-data
emptyDir: {}
python
will start up, run apt-get update
then apt-get install -y curl
then mkdir /curl-folder
then copy usr/bin/curl
to /curl-folder
then copy the folder /curl-folder
to /pod-data
shared mounted volume.
A few observations:
command
(like /bin/sh
in python).&&
to chain commands consecutively in the args field it's easier to test and deploy.Reproduction:
$ kubectl apply -f two-container-volume.yaml
pod/two-containers created
$ kubectl get pods -w
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
two-containers 2/2 Running 0 7s
two-containers 1/2 NotReady 0 30s
$ kubectl describe pod two-containers
...
Containers:
python:
Container ID: docker://911462e67d7afab9bca6cdaea154f9229c80632efbfc631ddc76c3d431333193
Image: python
Command:
/bin/sh
Args:
-c
apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl && mkdir /curl-folder && cp /usr/bin/curl /curl-folder && cp -r /curl-folder /pod-data/
State: Terminated
Reason: Completed
Exit Code: 0
user-nginx:
State: Running
python
container executed and completed correctly, now let's check the files logging inside the nginx container. $ kubectl exec -it two-containers -c user-nginx -- /bin/bash
root@two-containers:/# cd /tmp/pod-data/curl-folder/
root@two-containers:/tmp/pod-data/curl-folder# ls
curl
If you need further help, post the yaml with the command+args as you are trying to run and we can help you troubleshoot the syntax.
If it's a django app, consider using whitenoise http://whitenoise.evans.io/en/stable/ to serve your static content from minikube or kubernetes.
This is straightforward advice, but I had to search quite a bit before someone mentioned it.
