# NGINX Buildpack for Dokku - Hosting static pages
|
|
This buildpack has been successfully run on Digital Ocean instances of Ubuntu 14.04 (Status: Jan 2015). It might also work with different configurations.
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
`buildpack-nginx` provides a simple, low overhead way of hosting static pages and websites on Dokku. Just add the `.env` and `.static` file to the root directory of your website as described below.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
1. Add a file with the name `.env` in the root of your directory with the following content: `export BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/florianheinemann/buildpack-nginx.git`
|
|
2. Add another, *empty* file called `.static` to your root directory of your web project. It signals that this buildpack shall be used
|
|
3. Push your project to Dokku
|
|
|
|
All static files that you want to serve should be in the root directory of your repository. No need to use a seperate `www` folder. `buildpack-nginx` will automatically download the buildpack, download NGINX, compile it, and install it. The next time you push your project, the buildpack will reuse the precompiled binaries.
