Hi Ken,
I read a few other documents and still can’t come to a resolution.
What is the method that I should structure the static and media storage. S3 style storage is not appropriate for this project - it has to be on the disk

There is a load balancer NGINX which handles connection to the ‘outside’ and an application ‘nginx’ that handles serving the media.
Do I need new directories on the application host?
the directory structure is
> lr /srv/www/
.venv/ code/ html/ logs/ server.sock
So as far as I can tell I have had code in a separate directory.
> ls /srv/www/code/
Dockerfile manage.py yq
base mysite 'ystemctl enable gunicornaqqq'
blog portfolio 'ystemctl start gunicorn.socket'
db.sqlite3 requirements.txt
home search
Dir path for html
> ls /srv/www/html/
media static
Thanks for your help.
