Answer 1

Try
In ---- nginx.conf:
location /static/ {
autoindex off;
alias /home/ubuntu/blogpy/static/; #add full path of static file directry
}

Answer 2

To get /blogpy/home/static/ files been copied into /blogpy/static/ by collectstatic command, you need to specify STATICFILES_DIRS setting
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/ref/settings/#std:setting-STATICFILES_DIRS
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
BASE_DIR / 'home' / 'static',
]

Answer 3

It is recommended to serve static files directly from nginx.
Add the following to your nginx site config.
location /static/ {
alias /path/to/static/directory/;
}
