Django (Wagtail) Media Files

Id: ee4f252f-387a-4b2c-999a-0af6f926854e I am having trouble setting up a volume to serve the media files uploaded by a Wagtail admin user. The PostgreSQL database template comes with a volume 'pgdata' by default. I tried attaching another volume to my production service called 'media' with path '/media/' as well as '/app/media/'. Neither worked. I even tried setting the MEDIA_URL to the database's PGDATA variable which is 'var/lib/postgresql/pgdata/' I know I am missing something. Thanks!

not sure why you are messing with postgres for media stuff?

I tried it after the server's attached volume didn't work. Thought maybe the volume attached to the database was the place. I've already visited that resource. I'll try the 'Troubleshooting' section though. I have yet to try making a new directory.

please also review its code specifically the urls.py

Thanks. I wouldn't have thought to look at the repo. I'm deploying with new settings and urls now That was it! In settings set MEDIA_URL to RAILWAY_VOLUME_MOUNT_PATH and in urls.py set urlpatterns += [ re_path(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', serve, {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT})]
