Django and Heroku Static Image Files Disappearing
That guy
Hi there :)
On heroku, do static images expire after some point and automatically get deleted?
My situation is that I retrieve images from my PostgreSQL database through a model's ImageField by setting its upload_to equal to static/images. Then, I access the images through mysitesurl.com/static/images/model.url
This works perfectly initially. However, after several hours, what I
notice is that the images are no longer accessible. When I try to access
them through the same url, they no longer exist. I do not do any manual
image deletions so the operations I perform should not interfere with
this.
Is this something that Heroku does that I do not understand?
Also, one odd occurrence that I notice is that the image is still
accessible through the url, but it doesn't actually get saved to static/images. When I run the bash shell provided by heroku, its not in the static folder.
Note: I am aware of S3, but I am trying to get this to work purely on Heroku.
Thanks for any help :D
