python - 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/.
