Error trying to migrate my database. Typing error

Sorry but I don't know what is happening when I try to run (python3 manage.py makemigrations).
I really don't know what's going on I'm looking for an answer for a while but I can't figure out where the error is:

and this is my manage.py file:
enter image description here

In the error message it says that you need a string instead of 'PosixPath' try turning the path into a string.

You can also use:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
'NAME': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'db.sqlite3'),
}
}

Simply you can try this way:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
'NAME': BASE_DIR / 'db.sqlite3',
}
}
After adding above code in settings.py file, first you need to delete db file and delete all migration folders of each app and then run below commands:
python manage.py makemigrations appname
python manage.py sqlmigrate appname 0001
python manage.py migrate
And now your problem will solve.

Django RestAPI but without CSS

I am making an REST API using Django Restframework
It works perfectly but I get an error when I have pushed it to railway app like this

I tried resolving it by adding the DISABLE_COLLECTSTATIC variable with 1 as a value as one of the env variables. It works then, but the CSS in the API pages is gone
So can anyone let me know what I can do to get rid of this error and get the CSS onto the website?

You should get advantage of a tool such as WhiteNoise to setup the Django static files configuration for production. I think you are using Heroku, for this reason I just attached here a sample configuration for the Django settings.py file that should work for you.
PS: remind that Django doesn't handle your static files anymore when you set DEBUG=False
import os
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
# and here the rest of your settings
# ...
# Static files configuration
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')
STATIC_URL = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static/')
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)
STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
)
# ...
# Loading test/prod settings based on ENV settings
ENV = os.environ.get('ENV')
# Add this part to the production environment only
# (Heroku in this case) with DEBUG=False:
try:
from .production_settings import *
MIDDLEWARE.append('whitenoise.middleware.WhiteNoiseMiddleware',)

pass

Why does my Environ import doesn't import .env variables?

I'm building a Django app but I've got an issue. I've imported the environ package in order to store all my variables in a .env file, but actually it seems my app doesn't read it and I can't get why.
Here is my .env file:
DEBUG=True
SECRET_KEY='<SECRET>'
DB_NAME=<SECRET>
DB_USER=<SECRET>
DB_PASSWORD=<SECRET>
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=
EMAIL_HOST=
EMAIL_HOST_USER=
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=
EMAIL_PORT=
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL=<SECRET>

env = environ.Env(

As far as I can see, it seems the settings.py is not reading at all the variables in the .env, but I don't know how to solve this. What can I do?
EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED
It was easier than I thought. I forgot to type in the terminal export READ_DOT_ENV_FILE=True in order to enable the file reading in development.
Thanks to all who try to help me!
Have a nice day

Make sure that your .env file is in the same directory as your settings.py.

This may be a hard way
Try following code for every variable in the console
export SECRET_KEY='<SECRET>'

Error while running '$ python manage.py collectstatic --noinput'.even with static configuration from heroku docs

After trying to upload my django-project to heroku i get the following error, even though I tried to configure setting.py in accordance with heroku documentation. Tried to fix it myself for couple of days but I clearly got no idea about what is wrong.
