I have to add staticfiles into storage = []

[DokinsKING]

I created the following configuration:

DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'django_minio_backend.storage.MinioBackend'


STORAGES = {  # -- ADDED IN Django 5.1
    "default": {
        "BACKEND": "django_minio_backend.models.MinioBackend",
    }
}

MINIO_ENDPOINT = 'localhost:9000/'
MINIO_ACCESS_KEY = 'there is real key'
MINIO_SECRET_KEY = 'there is real key'
MINIO_CONSISTENCY_CHECK_ON_START = True
MINIO_USE_HTTPS = False
MINIO_PRIVATE_BUCKETS = [
    'images'
]

MINIO_MEDIA_FILES_BUCKET = 'images'  # replacement for MEDIA_ROOT
MINIO_BUCKET_CHECK_ON_SAVE = True  # Default: True // Creates bucket if missing, then save

But I got the following error indicating that I missed configuring staticfiles:

    fn(*args, **kwargs)
    ~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "C:\Users\KKK\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python313\Lib\site-packages\django\__init__.py", line 24, in setup

                          ~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
KeyError: 'staticfiles'

I found a solution, just use it

STORAGES = {  # -- ADDED IN Django 5.1
    "default": {
        "BACKEND": "django_minio_backend.models.MinioBackend",
    },
    "staticfiles": {"BACKEND": "django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.StaticFilesStorage"},
}
