nginx

I'm not sure if this should be in the nginx or Django Reddit, I posted in the django reddit and folks just told me to use whitenoise. My blog is running on Docker. Initially, all images in the static files folder *from the first set of articles I created while coding the blog* were accessible to nginx. However, when I tried adding articles from the admin panel after deployment, the new images returned a 404 error. I tried debugging by checking my code and realized I didn't include a path for the media folder in the settings.py file. After adding that line and rebuilding the container... well, the previously accessible images are returning 404 as well. I think my nginx server might not be configured correctly. *I've entered the container and verified that files are present.*

nginx conf:
