Two bugs prevent correct Docker deployment: static files collected by
collectstaticare written outside the shared nginx volume, andDEBUGis always truthy due to string env var parsing.Fixes
STATIC_ROOTpath mismatch —os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static/')resolves to/securityeventsexplorer/static/inside the container, butdocker-compose.ymlmounts the shared volume at/static/. Nginx never saw the collected assets. Changed to the absolute path/static/.DEBUGstring coercion —os.getenv('DEBUG')returns the string"False", which is truthy in Python, causing Django to run in debug mode regardless of the env value. Changed to explicit comparison:Housekeeping
