Managing static assets in Django applications deployed with Docker can be tricky, especially when dealing with deployment rollbacks and static file optimization.<p>I wrote an overview of the challenges of handling static assets with Docker, and how using versioned static files can help streamline deployments, improve rollback efficiency, and avoid overwriting critical assets.<p>If you're managing static files in a Dockerized Django setup, this post covers:
- Common issues with running collectstatic during deployment.
- The pros and cons of running collectstatic during Docker build.
- A solution for versioning static assets using semantic versioning to ensure consistency and simplify rollbacks.
