How to serve Flask static files using Nginx?

Question

I've a web application with this structure:

| |__ static    |__style.less    |__images |__ myapp.py |__ wsgi.py 

I've managed to run the web application using nginx and wsgi, but the problem is that the static files are not served, i mean, the server can't find them when i go to their URL. It gives me 404.

Here's my nginx configuration file part:

 server {     listen 80 default_server;     listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;      root /var/www/public_html;     index index.php index.html index.htm;      server_name xxxxxxx.com;      location / {         try_files $uri $uri/ =404;     }      location /myapp {         include uwsgi_params;         uwsgi_pass unix:/var/www/public_html/myapp/myapp.sock; } 

Is there something missing?

Answer 1

Add this to your nginx configuration

location ^~ /static/  {     include  /etc/nginx/mime.types;     root /project_path/; } 

replace /project_path/ with your app's absolute path, you should note that it doesn't include static directory and all the contents inside /project_path/static/ will be serverd in url /static/.
