Re: Using an external Server to serve Static files - Development Server

This is how I do it.

In settings.py:

STATIC_ROOT = '/home/user/app/site_media/static/'  # Generated files here from 'manage.py collectstatic'

STATIC_URL = 'http://static.example.com/static/'

In templates:

{% load staticfiles %}

...

<link href="{% static 'myapp/stylesheets/app.css' %}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

Produces:

<link href="http://static.example.com/static/myapp/stylesheets/app.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

If static.example.com is behind Nginx this is in your static server conf file:

# Nginx staticfiles setting

location /site_media/ {

  alias /home/user/app/site_media/;

}

This is a made up example, but the real thing is close to it.
