That depends on what webserver you're using. For example, in uwsgi you'd
add something like:
static-map=/media-archives=/some/where/pgarchives/django/media

For nginx, it'd be something like:
location /media-archives/ {
alias /some/where/pgarchives/django/media/;
}

Oh. Yes, anything outside of /list/ is loaded from pgweb. The dyncss is one
of them. And yes, this is kind of a hacky and terrible way, but that's how
it is right now. Certain parts of them have to be kept in sync.

We need them separately because the same pgarchives code is also run
standalone, for our private archives. And in that scenario, there is no
pgweb involved.
