A static HTML Tugboat Preview serves files exactly as they are found in the git repository.
The Tugboat configuration is managed by a YAML file at
.tugboat/config.yml in the git repository. Here’s a basic static HTML configuration you can use as a starting point,
with comments to explain what’s going on:
services:
# What to call the service hosting the site. Because there is only
# one service, it is automatically set as the default service, which
# does a few things
# 1. Clones the git repository into the service container
# 2. Exposes port 80 to the Tugboat HTTP proxy
# 3. Routes requests to the preview URL to this service
apache:
# Use the available version of Apache by not specifying a version
image: tugboatqa/httpd
# A set of commands to run while building this service
commands:
# Commands that set up the basic preview infrastructure
init:
# Link the document root to the expected path. This example links the
# root of the git repository to the docroot
- ln -snf "${TUGBOAT_ROOT}" "${DOCROOT}"
