Vienna is a tiny, zero-configuration static file server built on top of rack.
The goal is to place everything in /public, add two lines to our config.ru
and let Vienna take care of the rest.
Why Vienna? Because it's an awesome city and It's the first thing that came to my mind. (I must have gotten the idea from Cuba.)
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'vienna'
And then execute:
bundle
Or install it yourself, run:
gem install vienna
Place your static files in /public, optionally create /public/404.html
and add this to your config.ru:
require 'vienna'
run Vienna
You're done. Now you can deploy to heroku or any other place that supports
rack-based apps. This should also work for most apps built with
Jekyll or Middleman as long as
you follow the conventions stated above.
If you absolutely must change the root folder for some reason. You can use e.g.
run Vienna::Application.new('_site') instead of run Vienna.
