Volumes in Django

I have a django app deployed with a Volume mounted on /app/media. When I put hacky code to list the media directory, I can see that the files are there. I can also see that I can upload to the directory via the Django admin.

However, when I access these files via the browser in their django paths, I get 404. Not Found.

Here is my urls.py

from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from django.urls.conf import include

from .views import (contact_success_view, contact_view, game_detail, home,
                    service_detail)

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('', home, name='home'),
    path('game/<slug:slug>/', game_detail, name='game_detail'),
    path('service/<slug:slug>/', service_detail, name='service_detail'),
    path('ckeditor5/', include('django_ckeditor_5.urls')),
    path('contact/', contact_view, name='contact'),
    path('success/', contact_success_view, name='success'),
]

urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

And I have in my settings.py: 

MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = BASE_DIR / 'media'

If you have a volume attached, and your application is saving the uploaded files to the volume, Yes.

yes, but thats not how it works. I now resolved the problem. The question is that u can't use the same volume of the database to the application media. I created another one and then it worked.

Yep, media is not stored in the database, it is stored in the filesystem, glad you where able to figure it out!
