Fetch Static files from Server in Django

331 Views Asked by Marcus At 06 November 2025 at 18:40

I'm using a development server for django. I want to grab my static files from a server. htts://www.example.com/static

How do I do this in Django?

Currently I'm trying to to change the STATIC_URL from '/static/' , but it fails whenever I change it. By fail I mean that the html still loads, but the site can't access and load my static files.

this is the url of the static that will be used in template STATIC_URL = '/static/'

add the desire path to the static files dirs var

STATICFILES_DIRS = ('/var/www/my_site/my_path',)

please note that the path doesn't end with backslash

please note that the trailing comma

now in your templates use

<head>
    {% load staticfiles %}
    <link href="{% static "css/style.css" %}" rel="stylesheet">
</head>

this link will resolve to my_site/static/css/style.css and will be in the folder /var/www/my_site/my_path/css/style.css

href="my_site/static/css/style.css" maps to

STATICFILES_DIRS : /var/www/my_site/my_path/css/style.css
