buildpack-nginx
provides a simple, low overhead way of hosting static pages and websites on Dokku. Just add the .env
and .static
file to the root directory of your website as described below.
- Add a file with the name
.env
in the root of your directory with the following content:export BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/florianheinemann/buildpack-nginx.git
- Add another, empty file called
.static
to your root directory of your web project. It signals that this buildpack shall be used - Push your project to Dokku
All static files that you want to serve should be in the root directory of your repository. No need to use a seperate www
folder. buildpack-nginx
will automatically download the buildpack, download NGINX, compile it, and install it. The next time you push your project, the buildpack will reuse the precompiled binaries.
