Description
In our project we mostly relay on containerization and packing code including their static files into containers. During upgrade we call manage.py collectstatic inside that container and our static files are uploaded to s3 bucket.
Collectstatic command to make sure if file needs replacement checks creation timestamp on destination storage and local file storage. But problem is that creation time of static files inside container are set during image creation. This causes issues in deploying older images, because of their create timestamps mentioned earlier.
My idea to fix this is to check files checksums (like md5 or sha) and using them to compare file identity.
