This is my deployment for the django app with rest framework:

My service:

# Service
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: my-api-service
  labels:
    label: my-api-service
spec:
  type: NodePort
  ports:
  - port: 80
    targetPort: 80
    protocol: TCP
    name: http

  selector:
    name: my-api-selector

And here's my nginx configuration:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: nginx-config
data:
  nginx.conf: |
    events {
      worker_connections  1024;
    }
    http {
      upstream api {
        server 127.0.0.1:9000 fail_timeout=0;
      }
      server {
        access_log /var/log/nginx/api.my.log;
        error_log /var/log/nginx/api.my.mesozi.com-http-error.log;
        listen 80;
        server_name localhost;

        location /static/ {
          autoindex on;    
          alias /static/; 
        }

        location /media/ {
        alias   /src/media/;
        }

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


        location / {
          proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
          proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
          proxy_set_header Host $host;
          proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
          proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9000/;
        }
      }
    }

As you can see in my deployment file I am running both nginx and my app in the same pod. Everything's running well in minikube except it's like the styles are not being applied. Looking at network in the browser all static file requests are OK 200. What am I missing?

I guess displaying styles for my API is not any useful but I just want to get it tow work cause it should.
