    @Postbox , Apologies for the delay in responding here.

    Oryx runs manage.py collectstatic on your behalf unless you specify the DISABLE_COLLECTSTATIC env var. Make sure you've set STATIC_ROOT in settings.py:

    // settings.py 

      STATIC_ROOT = './static/'  
Or having STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')

    To host static files in your web app, add the whitenoise package to requirements.txt and the configuration for it to settings.py.

    Note: It will depend on the Django version, always try the latest version. 

      # requirements.txt  
  whitenoise==4.1.2

    You can find a Django working sample with static files for Web Apps On Linux here.

    Kindly check this doc for the recommended configuration -https://github.com/microsoft/Oryx/wiki/Django-Tips

    Please let us know how it goes and I'll follow-up further.
