1. mount to /app/media 2. do not define any variables for the volume yourself, please remove them 3. have a look at this template https://railway.app/template/AWUIv6

Nvm that one is separate issue. I saw the template is using serve view and it is not recommended for for production. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/ref/views/.

Any other way i can serve the media easily? Probably need to expose in nginx the media folder or smething like that. I'm really bad at this deployment/devops cryingman

thats correct, it is not recommended for production, but (and i really mean no offense) if you have to ask how to do it properly, the serve view is likely more then sufficent for you, but you do have the right idea, you would need nginx or caddy to serve the files from the media folder and then have it proxy all other traffic to django

Yes, the way the template is setup currently, is not meant for production use. Small scale production it is fine, but serving 10’s of thousands of users, definitely not. Maybe even thousands. The template is just a guide on getting things working for testing. I plan on setting up another template soon for properly serving in production environments
