static-content

Tiny Docker image to serve static content over HTTP.

Sometimes you just need to serve static content (HTML, Javascript, etc) over HTTP, and apache2-base and even Caddy are a bit too much for the task at hand. You can use this Docker image, which is just a tiny Go HTTP server that does enough HTTP to be useful (etag/range support, autoindexing, etc).

The full list of functionality is short:

• supports If-Modified-Since and If-Match request headers
• supports partial requests with the Range header
• it will automatically render HTML index pages for directories

You can set additional HTTP headers to be set on all responses (useful for CORS, etc) with the --header command-line option.
