You have misconfigured NGINX. Try proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;

As for the static files, it's because you haven't made the files available to the container. I would suggest the following modifications:

myproject/Dockerfile:

[...]
ADD . /opt/myproject
VOLUME ["/opt/myproject/collected_static"]
[..]
# may I also suggest automatic static file collection?
RUN python manage.py collectstatic --noinput

myproject/docker-compose.yml:

[...]
build: ./nginx
volumes_from:
  - "worker" # or daphne

I would also consider adding image option to daphne and worker services. This will tag the image and allow to reuse it, thus it will be only built once (instead of twice).

myproject:
  build: .
  image: "myproject:latest"
[..]
worker:
  image: "myproject:latest"
[..]
daphne:
  image: "myproject:latest"
