I wrote this teeny-tiny static content web server for Docker. Just use it as the base image to add your website content and you get a Docker image of your website with a server baked in! And it's choked full of features too.
Check it out:
hastatic
hastatic is a very small web server for serving static files from a Docker container.
Features
- A lightweight web server, just 5 MB in size.
- Built for Docker.
- Supports HTTPS.
- Supports custom 404 file.
- Supports custom index files for URLs ending with "/".
- Takes care to not serve hidden files.
- Adds caching headers automatically.
- Adds security headers automatically.
- Caches file descriptors and info for better performance.
Usage
Create a Dockerfile for your website, deriving from abhin4v/hastatic:
FROM abhin4v/hastatic:latest
COPY mywebsite /opt/mywebsite
WORKDIR /opt/mywebsite
CMD ["/usr/bin/hastatic"]
Build and run:
$ docker build -t mywebsite .
$ # run with default configs
$ docker run -p 8080:3000 mywebsite
$ # run with custom configs
$ docker run -e PORT=2000 -e NF_FILE=404.html -e IDX_FILE=index.html -p 8080:2000 mywebsite
$ # run with HTTPS support
$ docker run -e TLS_CERT_FILE=certificate.pem -e TLS_KEY_FILE=key.pem -p 443:3000 mywebsite
Configuration
The Docker image supports…
