Asked by Goto baileyq.me
I currently have DigitalOcean spaces setup & using it with django via ‘django-storages’.
Currently I am running into a problem where the collectstatic command will not collect all my static files.
settings.py - static files
# Static files (CSS, JavaScript, Images)
# https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/howto/static-files/
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
]
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = 'my_access_key'
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = 'my_secret_key'
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME = 'lrev'
AWS_S3_ENDPOINT_URL = 'https://fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com'
AWS_S3_OBJECT_PARAMETERS = {
'CacheControl': 'max-age=86400',
}
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'custom_storages.StaticStorage'
DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'custom_storages.MediaStorage'
# Use AWS_S3_ENDPOINT_URL here if you haven't enabled the CDN and got a custom domain.
STATIC_URL = '{}/{}/'.format(AWS_S3_ENDPOINT_URL, 'static')
STATIC_ROOT = '/static/'
MEDIA_URL = '{}/{}/'.format(AWS_S3_ENDPOINT_URL, 'media')
MEDIA_ROOT = '/media/'
TEMP = "{}/{}".format(MEDIA_ROOT, 'temp')
My Static Files:
static
- accounts
- core
- images
- lrdc
- terms
- jquery.js
Digital Ocean Spaces:
static
- images
- images
- admin
- jquery.js

Heya,
It seems like you’re experiencing issues with the
collectstaticcommand not gathering all of your static files in your Django project. Let’s break down the potential issues and solutions:Verify that
collectstaticis working properly: First, run thecollectstaticcommand manually in your local environment and see if it is collecting all the static files. If it’s not, the issue might not be related to DigitalOcean spaces, but with how your static files are set up.Check your
custom_storages.pymodule: You’re usingcustom_storages.StaticStorageandcustom_storages.MediaStorageas yourSTATICFILES_STORAGEandDEFAULT_FILE_STORAGErespectively. It’s possible that these classes might be incorrectly defined, causing issues. It would be helpful to review those classes.Confirm your static files location: Make sure all static files are properly placed under the directories specified in the
STATICFILES_DIRSsetting. From your file structure, it seems like you’ve got your static files correctly placed. But it might be worth double checking if all files are under the ‘static’ directory in yourBASE_DIR.STATIC_ROOT Setting:
STATIC_ROOTis the absolute path to the directory wherecollectstaticwill collect static files for deployment. In your configuration, it seems like you’re setting it to ‘/static/’. Please ensure that this directory is correctly set and Django has appropriate permissions to access and write into this directory.STATICFILES_FINDERS Setting: Django uses the
STATICFILES_FINDERSsetting to locate static files in addition to those it finds inSTATICFILES_DIRS. By default, it includesFileSystemFinder(for files inSTATICFILES_DIRS) andAppDirectoriesFinder(for files in the ‘static’ subdirectory of each app). If you haven’t changed this setting, Django should automatically find static files in your apps. However, if you’ve changed it, that might be causing your problem.Bucket Policy: Please ensure that your bucket policy in DigitalOcean Spaces is set correctly. You should have read and write permissions for the provided AWS key and secret.
Hopefully, one of these points will help you identify the issue. If none of these work, please provide any error messages you’re getting, or any other unusual behavior you’re seeing when you run
collectstatic.
