Ask HN: How do you serve static files in a Docker container?
I usually use thttpd in an alpine container. I think I remember seeing a similar server that read files at startup to load them in memory and pre-compress them while running in a from-scratch container, but I can't seem to find it on the internet. What do you guys use ?
- stop50 3y agoI don't. I serve static files directly from the nginx.
- nijave 3y agoI'd think given enough memory, your files will cache in memory pretty quickly with any server. I usually just use nginx for these use cases or look to a CDN solution.
- brettv2 3y agowhy wouldn't you just serve them via a CDN?
- joshxyz 3y agobunny.net is the cheapest cdn i can recommend if u go this route. they give free credits too, and they have tol notch support bunnies.
