Connecting Django to a web server
We must have a gateway service that manages the static content. We will use Caddy for its simplicity.
Caddy is configured with a flat file named Caddyfile. We must create it and add the following content:

As we are in a development environment, we will indicate the http protocol instead of https. Next, with root * /usr/src/app/ and file_server, we’re telling Caddy to expose static files (images, CSS files, JavaScript files, and so on) because that’s not Django’...
