Django3- Static and Media Files

The video tutorial covers the importance of disabling debug mode in production to prevent security risks, setting up and managing static files using Django's collectstatic command, and ensuring both static and media files are served correctly. It also discusses security considerations, such as choosing strong passwords and transitioning from SQLite to more robust databases like MySQL or Postgres. Finally, it touches on future improvements, including custom domains and code updates.

Why is it important to disable debug mode in a production environment?

• To enable more features

• To allow more users to access the site

• To prevent exposure of sensitive information

• To improve website speed

What is the purpose of the collectstatic command in Django?

• To delete unused static files

• To update static files automatically

• To compress static files for faster loading

• To gather all static files into a central location

Why should static files be served from a dedicated service?

• To reduce server load and improve performance

• To increase the security of the files

• To make the files easier to update

• To allow more users to access the files

What is a potential downside of serving static files from the same server as your application?

• It can reduce the number of users

• It can increase the security of the files

• It can slow down the server

• It can make the files easier to update

What is a potential risk of having an admin interface accessible on the internet?

• It can increase server costs

• It can lead to unauthorized access and data manipulation

• It can slow down the website

• It can cause the website to crash

What is a recommended action to secure the admin interface?

• Use a strong password

• Disable the admin interface

• Limit the number of users

• Use a different database

What is a benefit of using HTTPS for your website?

• It reduces server costs

• It allows more users to access the site

• It encrypts data for secure communication

• It makes the website load faster

What should you do if you want to change the password for your Django superuser?

• Edit the database directly

• Use a command line tool

• Use the Django admin interface

• Reinstall Django

When should you consider switching from SQLite to a more robust database?

• When you have more than 100 users

• When you want to add more features

• When you notice performance issues

• When the website is first launched

Which of the following is a more robust database option than SQLite?

• Redis

• MongoDB

• Postgres

• SQLite
