Description

A lightweight, configurable static file server for Cloudron with proper caching, compression, and SPA support.

Features

  • Proper caching — Configurable Cache-Control and ETag headers
  • Gzip compression — On-the-fly and pre-compressed .gz file support
  • SPA mode — try_files fallback for single-page applications
  • Custom headers — Global and pattern-specific response headers
  • Redirects — Prefix and regex-based redirects (301/302)
  • Custom error pages — Per-status-code HTML error pages
  • Directory listing — Optional auto-index with file sizes and dates
  • IP access control — Allow/deny by IP address
  • Configurable via YAML — Full control through /app/data/config.yml without touching nginx

Upload files via SFTP or the Cloudron File Manager.

Recent Changes

  • Move the default landing page styles to a shared stylesheet (digitalrust.css).

  • Add default 404 and 500 error page templates. First run copies them to /app/data/errors/.

  • Enable the error pages in config.yml with the error_pages option.

  • Update the base image to cloudron/base:5.1.0.

  • Pin PyYAML to version 6.0.3. This keeps builds reproducible.
