Django/Nginx : serving static files in production

Question

I am trying to serve CSS and other static files on my django app using NGINX server. So I tried to configure it. Here is my /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mydomain:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name redpillers.net;

    location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
    location /static/ {
        root /home/limited/REDPILLERS;
    }

    location / {
        include proxy_params;
        proxy_pass http://unix:/home/limited/REDPILLERS/redpillers.sock;
    }

    location /static/ {
       alias /home/limited/REDPILLERS/static/;
    }

}

But when I restart the service I got an error in the error logs file:

2019/05/22 07:26:44 [emerg] 11589#11589: duplicate location "/static/" in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mydomain:15

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name redpillers.net;

    location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }

    location / {
        include proxy_params;
        proxy_pass http://unix:/home/limited/REDPILLERS/redpillers.sock;
    }

    location /static/ {
       alias /home/limited/REDPILLERS/static/;
    }

}

You have location /static/ two times in configuration. Just remove one.

please remove the second /static/ location and keep the first one So the ultimate config:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name redpillers.net;

    location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
    location /static/ {
        root /home/limited/REDPILLERS;
    }

    location / {
        include proxy_params;
        proxy_pass http://unix:/home/limited/REDPILLERS/redpillers.sock;
    }

}
