How to use config.toml in docker compose?

[carmolim]

I'm trying to deploy a vue app using static-web-server using docker compose
I need to redirect all the requests to public/index.html

But first need how to correctly pass the config.toml to the container, I tried this:

  frontend:
    image: joseluisq/static-web-server:2
    ports:
      - 8787:80
    volumes:
      - ./apps/frontend/config.toml:/config.toml
      - ./apps/frontend/dist:/public

I know the file has correctly been loaded by the container, but I'm not loading it to the correct path.

Where I should mount it?

You just have to tell SWS where to find the config file via SERVER_CONFIG_FILE env.

The reason is that the config file is optional but there is no a default path for it. Additionally SWS does not check for the config file path at start up (only when it is set).
That's why when you want to use a config file then you have to tell SWS about it explicitly.

We will probably improve this in the future to act like for example the root dir (./public).

Thanks, that solved my problem, the final config:

  frontend:
    image: joseluisq/static-web-server:2
    ports:
      - 8787:80
    environment:
      - SERVER_CONFIG_FILE=/config.toml
    volumes:
      - ./apps/frontend/config.toml:/config.toml
      - ./apps/frontend/dist:/public

BTW there is an improvement on #281 for the next release.
