Use Whitenoise for Django?
See original GitHub issueObserved behavior
On kolibri start, Django’s collectstatic is run, copying all the assets into the user’s home folder.
Expected behavior
Using Whitenoise for Django would allow the assets to be served directly by Django with surprisingly little overhead.
User-facing consequences
Files are unnecessarily duplicated on the server’s hard drive on startup.
