Hi, That is the way it should be if you look in the documentation: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/howto/static-files/
Serving the files In addition to these configuration steps, you’ll also need to actually serve the static files. During development, if you use django.contrib.staticfiles <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/contrib/staticfiles/#module-django.contrib.staticfiles>, this will be done automatically by runserver <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/django-admin/#django-admin-runserver> when DEBUG <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/settings/#std:setting-DEBUG> is set to True (see django.contrib.staticfiles.views.serve() <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/contrib/staticfiles/#django.contrib.staticfiles.views.serve> ). This method is *grossly inefficient* and probably *insecure*, so it is *unsuitable for production*. See Deploying static files <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/howto/static-files/deployment/> for proper strategies to serve static files in production environments. So it is exactly like gunicorn - because you need to serve your static files from a webbserver instead of from django itself. That's why it is failing. What you could do (although I don't recommend it) - it to manually add the static files serving to your urls.py file. See: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/howto/static-files/#serving-static-files-during-development This should be fine for a developer environment - but nothing else.
