> a static files pipeline for Django with whitenoise, how is that not included by default?
It is. They have a file server in debug mode and recommend something like nginx for serving files in production (and provide a collectstatic command to make that easy).
People shouldn’t be using a WSGI server to serve static media. Whitenoise shouldn’t exist.
I came back to this thread after realizing I whitenoise would solve my current problem...
I'm working on a small internal tool using Django. When I turned debug off, my files stopped serving. And for this small deployment, I really don't want to have to require a separate nginx server. I get it now.
