Serve a static file

[elahmo]

Hey, I am trying to have a simple app where I can serve a PDF file representing my CV on myname.example.com.

This seems to be harder than I thought, I was checking docs and hoped to find something in that section - as there is already an nginx server running when I created an app and assigned it to a domain, but I was unable to set up the configuration to serve a file.

I want to avoid creating a wrapper in python/golang/something else and a separate repo to push, where all I need is a way to serve a single file from a URL.

Is there an easy way to do this?

Have you tried adding .static to the root folder of your repo? https://github.com/dokku/heroku-buildpack-nginx?tab=readme-ov-file#dokku

This seems to do the trick. I can also rewrite the nginx config to allow a catchall URL for this file to be served. Thanks!
