hi
project ID: 510ee6ef-4e3d-4fe3-ae13-2f21650a1e6f
first time setting up a django project on railway (which looks awesome btw).
I've got a project that contains a django backend and a react frontend in this format:
root_dir:
/frontend//
… has build, source, public, etc
//
… is my django app, has bin, include, lib, python files
manage.py
README.md
…
when deploying I get this error:
?: (staticfiles.W004) The directory '/app/frontend//build/static' in the STATICFILES_DIRS setting does not exist.
I've tried a number of things to resolve, but it looks like the frontend directory isn't being pulled from git, even though it's in the repo.
Any ideas?

to be clear, my python code is there, builds fine, the django app runs, but can't find the static files

are you trying to have your django app serve the frontend?

that's really not ideal, instead let's have them as separate services, a service for the frontend and a service for the backend

please separate this repo out into two folders -
.
├── backend/
│ ├── manage.py
│ └── ...
└── frontend/
├── package.json
└── ...a year ago

no problem!

mine, but you'd only need the nixpacks.toml and Caddyfile from it

you don't need to start a new project, you just need to restructure your project like this
