Sometimes, you just need a simple container to host some static files. Whether that be files for download, images to show, or a directory of files.
|

## Why not just use Nginx?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you're not really bothered, the default [`nginx`](https://hub.docker.com/_/nginx) container will work just fine for you, however this container has a few modifications which make it more suited to serving static files:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Use environment variables for customization
|
||
|
|
- Healthcheck endpoint
|
||
|
|
- GZIP all files
|
||
|
|
- Use `X-Forwarded-For` header when getting client IP

Previously I had created [`tstatic`](https://github.com/RealOrangeOne/tstatic) to do this, but Nginx is far better as a server than node. The less node in my stack, the better!
