Hi, first of all welcome on this group. Secondly you can also try https://webchat.freenode.net/ on the #django channel but you first need to register there by asking on #freenode channel. Regarding your problem, images are static files and you should put them in static/<appname>/your_desired_path to be detectable not media if they are part of your templates. Use src="" url “your_desired_path %} and don’t forget to put {% load static %} at the top of your template.

Hello everyone, I just discovered this group through Google.I couldn't get any help on stack overflow and hopefully someone here can help.
I have deployed a Django App on a Ubuntu server for the first time using Nginx and gunicorn.
Before deployment, I used port 8000 to test if everything runs as it is supposed to and all was fine. Since I allowed 'Nginx Full' my database images are not showing up.
This is my django project structure:
![]()
My virtual environment folder and my main project folder are both in the same directory. I have separated them.
```python
# Create your models here.
class Project(models.Model):
project_name = models.CharField(max_length=120)
project_description = models.CharField(max_length=400)
project_link = models.CharField(max_length=500)
project_image = models.ImageField(upload_to='')
def __str__(self):
return self.project_name
```
I have set up my settings.py to :
```python
# Build paths inside the project like this: os.path.join(BASE_DIR, ...)
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '..', 'media').replace('\\','/')
```
My view gets all the project object from a database and passes those to the template. The template renders successfully all other information related to project model except the image field . In my template I do:
```html
<div class="row text-center mx-auto">
{% for project in projects %}
{% if forloop.counter|mod:2 == 0 %}
<div class="col projects pb-3 pt-3 mb-3 ml-2">
{% else %}
<div class="col projects pb-3 pt-3 mb-3 mr-2">
{% endif %}
<img class="card-img-top pt-2 pl-2 pr-2" src="" project.project_image.url}}"
alt="Image could not be found :(" style="height:120px; width:166px !important;" /><br>
<div class="card-body">
<h3 class="card-title ">{{ project.project_name }}</h3>
<p class="card-text dates">{{ project.project_description}}</p>
<a href="" project.project_link }}" class="btn btn-dark" target="_blank">Link</a>
</div>
</div>
{% if forloop.counter|mod:2 == 0 %}
<div class="w-100"></div>
{% endif %}
{% endfor%}
</div>
</div>
```
Uploading the images works, it sends them in the project's media directory, the problem is that they are not showing up, the alt="" is activated.
My main urls.py:
```python
urlpatterns = [
path('', include('project.urls')),
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
```
The gunicorn system file:
```
[Unit]
Description=gunicorn daemon
After=network.target
[Service]
User=myusername
Group=www-data
WorkingDirectory=/home/myusername/myproject
ExecStart=/home/myusername/venv/bin/gunicorn --access-logfile - --workers 3 --bind unix:/home/myusername/myproject/myproject.sock myproject.wsgi:application
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
Nginx setup:
```
server {
listen 80;
server_name <my IP> ;
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location /static/ {
root /home/myusername/myproject;
}
location / {
include proxy_params;
proxy_pass http://unix:/home/myusername/myproject/myproject.sock;
}
}
```
EDIT: When inspecting the image element of the webpage the source of the image it is "/media/imageNmae.png".
Any help would be appreciated!
