Stuck deploying my django app

Troubleshooting and help
1

Hi! I am using trying to deploy a django app.

While I tried to do so, I was unable to upload a .env file which I used on my development machine to keep track of the environment variables.

I hit this issue when I run my code, anyone knows of any resolution? Thank you!

! Error while running '$ python manage.py collectstatic --noinput'.

07:14:01 PM stderr You may need to update application code to resolve this error.
07:14:01 PM stderr Or, you can disable collectstatic for this application:
07:14:01 PM stderr
07:14:01 PM stderr $ heroku config:set DISABLE_COLLECTSTATIC=1

What do you mean by “unable to upload a .env file”?

The import did not work or you environment variable was not properly picked up?

I was trying to deploy a django app that was developed through the use of a separate .env file that houses all the environment properties. Somehow, when I deploy the app through Koyeb, I kept hitting the collectstatic issue above.

I tried adding a simple .env file but it seems like not reading it. Not sure if there is a way to override the default behaviour, or to introduce something in my code suitable for Koyeb environment.

Thank you.

If I understand correctly, you need to reproduce your .env file when configuring your service in Koyeb.

Did you already tried this?

Note that you can drag and drop your .env file to this section of the form and we will parse the file to create the corresponding environment variables.
