Amazon Elastic Beanstalk not serving django static files

Question

I am trying to put up a simple django app on elastic beanstalk. I thought I had the static parts of the app figured out as it works with heroku and on a server that was set up

Answer 1

I did the following to fix static path in beanstalk

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')

option_settings:
  ...
  ...
  "aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:python:staticfiles":
    "/static/": "static/"
