Change static files serving to whitenoise plugin

[korgan00]

Summary

Right now we have some limitations in the way we are serving static files because Django doesn't serve them by default. I use a plugin to implement better static files sharing.

Details and comments

Using whitenoise for django plugin to manage static files.

Will this help with the issues in #1236 ?

[korgan00]

I cannot be sure, but my intuition say that it should. Right now it works with docker.

[psschwei]

Could we also check against Kubernetes? We should also test there since that's where we ultimately deploy. Docker can be useful for running code locally, but otherwise it can also get you into a bit of trouble down the line too...

You can use Kind to run a cluster locally.

[psschwei]

ok, just checked and the docs DO show up on kubernetes 🎉

[psschwei]

@korgan00 if you want to grab some time next week, I can walk you through setting up a local kubernetes environment for testing

@psschwei could you double check too that the panel administrator loads correctly? 🙏

[psschwei]

@Tansito that would be /backoffice right? (so locally, http://localhost:8000/backoffice)

[Tansito]

Yes!

[korgan00]

Thank you! I was reading about kind and started installing but I was resolving some security issues and wasn't able to finish the kubernetes test.

admin panel works

It worked with DEBUG=0, @psschwei ? Sorry for the double check, I remember having problems with that debug configuration.

[psschwei]

No -- for my local setup I default to DEBUG=1, so still need to check with DEBUG=0...

need to check debug config

[psschwei]

Confirmed that admin panel works with DEBUG=0

[Tansito]

Awesome! Thank you @psschwei for the double check, really appreciate it. And congrats @korgan00 for your first PR 🎉
