In production Django {{object.image.url}} not working in production. How to show image/MEDIA_ROOT/ in production?

Question

When I set DEBUG=False in app/settings.py

{{object.img.url}} not working. How to fix this?

when I inspect it's img.url getting /images/image_name.jpg like this. In DEBUG=True http://127.0.0.1:8000/images/image_name.jpg it shows image. But when I set DEBUG=False this http://127.0.0.1:8000/images/image_name.jpg this didn't show anything.

my media root

MEDIA_URL = '/images/'
MEDIA_ROOT = (BASE_DIR / 'static/images')

in my URL I added

urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)

How to show image/MEDIA_ROOT/ in production.

Answer 1

As django doc says, it is:

Helper function to return a URL pattern for serving files in debug mode: See more here . So, this function returns no URL patterns if not in DEBUG mode.

In general, as a rule of thumb, Django should not serve static content, ie static or media files. Some other, like nginx, apache, etc. should serve static content in production environment.

Answer 2

Following 4 settings are important.

# Static files (CSS, JavaScript, Images)
# https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/howto/static-files/

STATIC_URL = "https://xyz.abc.com/static/"

STATIC_ROOT = "/home/kcsl/web/xyz.abc.com/public_html/static/"

MEDIA_URL = "https://xyz.abc.com/media/"
MEDIA_ROOT = "/home/kcsl/web/xyz.abc.com/public_html/media/"

Use collectstatic command also

$ python manage.py collectstatic
