Unicorn workers never boot

1

Hi!
I am trying to deploy Django app. It works locally with development server. When I try to deploy it to render it never completes.
Although build is successful:

Apr 19 05:33:01 PM  128 static files copied to '/opt/render/project/src/myproject/staticfiles'.
Apr 19 05:33:03 PM  Operations to perform:
Apr 19 05:33:03 PM    Apply all migrations: admin, auth, avito, contenttypes, sessions
Apr 19 05:33:03 PM  Running migrations:
Apr 19 05:33:03 PM    No migrations to apply.
Apr 19 05:33:04 PM  ==> Uploading build...
Apr 19 05:33:13 PM  ==> Build uploaded in 8s
Apr 19 05:33:13 PM  ==> Build successful 🎉
Apr 19 05:33:13 PM  ==> Deploying...
Apr 19 05:33:44 PM  ==> Starting service with 'cd ./myproject && gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8000 --workers=2 --preload --log-level debug myproject.wsgi'

…after workers have started master did shut down later:

Apr 19 05:43:07 PM  [2023-04-19 17:43:07 +0300] [51] [INFO] Shutting down: Master

Why is it shutting down?

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in responding here. I’ve checked your service, and it looks like you’re currently running into a separate error:

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: You're using the staticfiles app without having set the STATIC_ROOT setting to a filesystem path.

I would recommend checking our guide for deploying Django on Render. Specifically the section here around static files: https://render.com/docs/deploy-django#static-files.

Let me know if this helps, or if you’re still running into issues.

Best,
