Why won't elastic beanstalk render css for the django admin site?

Question

I am following this guide on deploying a django app to AWS Elastic Beanstalk : https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/create-deploy-python-django.html

After running eb open, the css for the admin site does not render. It works when running the development server at 127.0.0.1:8000/admin but not when deployed to EB.

I have followed this guidance but it is still not working Elastic Beanstalk does not load the Django admin static files

Can someone explain why this is happening?

Answer 1

You can create a .ebextension/djnago.config in your project root dir. And code for loading static assests is below:

option_settings:
  aws:elasticbeanstalk:environment:proxy:staticfiles:
    /static: static

I used this for django 4.0 on Amazon Linux 2
