Create static website
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
To discover whether your Object Storage system supports this feature,
|
|
see :ref:`discoverability`. Alternatively, check with your service
|
|
provider.
|
|
|
|
You can use your Object Storage account to create a static website. This
|
|
static website is created with Static Web middleware and serves container
|
|
data with a specified index file, error file resolution, and optional
|
|
file listings. This mode is normally active only for anonymous requests,
|
|
which provide no authentication token. To use it with authenticated
|
|
requests, set the header ``X-Web-Mode`` to ``TRUE`` on the request.
|
|
|
|
The Static Web filter must be added to the pipeline in your
|
|
``/etc/swift/proxy-server.conf`` file below any authentication
|
|
middleware. You must also add a Static Web middleware configuration
|
|
section.
|
|
|
|
See the Cloud Administrator Guide for an example of the `static web configuration syntax <http://docs.openstack.org/newton/config-reference/object-storage/features.html#static-web-sites>`_.

See the Cloud Administrator Guide for a complete example of the `/etc/swift/proxy-server.conf file <http://docs.openstack.org/newton/config-reference/object-storage/proxy-server.html#sample-proxy-server-configuration-file>`_
|
|
(including static web).
|
|
|
|
Your publicly readable containers are checked for two headers,
|
|
``X-Container-Meta-Web-Index`` and ``X-Container-Meta-Web-Error``. The
|
|
``X-Container-Meta-Web-Error`` header is discussed below, in the
|
|
section called :ref:`set_error_static_website`.
|
|
|
|
Use ``X-Container-Meta-Web-Index`` to determine the index file (or
|
|
default page served, such as ``index.html``) for your website. When
|
|
someone initially enters your site, the ``index.html`` file displays
|
|
automatically. If you create sub-directories for your site by creating
|
|
pseudo-directories in your container, the index page for each
|
|
sub-directory is displayed by default. If your pseudo-directory does not
|
|
have a file with the same name as your index file, visits to the
|
|
sub-directory return a 404 error.
|
|
|
|
You also have the option of displaying a list of files in your
|
|
pseudo-directory instead of a web page. To do this, set the
|
|
``X-Container-Meta-Web-Listings`` header to ``TRUE``. You may add styles
|
|
to your file listing by setting ``X-Container-Meta-Web-Listings-CSS``
|
|
to a style sheet (for example, ``lists.css``).

|
Static Web middleware through Object Storage
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The following sections show how to use Static Web middleware through
|
|
Object Storage.
|
|
|
|
Make container publicly readable
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Make the container publicly readable. Once the container is publicly
|
|
readable, you can access your objects directly, but you must set the
|
|
index file to browse the main site URL and its sub-directories.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ swift post -r '.r:*,.rlistings' container
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set site index file
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Set the index file. In this case, ``index.html`` is the default file
|
|
displayed when the site appears.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ swift post -m 'web-index:index.html' container
|
|
|
|
Enable file listing
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Turn on file listing. If you do not set the index file, the URL displays
|
|
a list of the objects in the container. Instructions on styling the list
|
|
with a CSS follow.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ swift post -m 'web-listings: true' container
|
|
|
|
Enable CSS for file listing
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Style the file listing using a CSS.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ swift post -m 'web-listings-css:listings.css' container
|
|
|
|
.. _set_error_static_website:
|
|
|
|
Set error pages for static website
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
You can create and set custom error pages for visitors to your website;
|
|
currently, only 401 (Unauthorized) and 404 (Not Found) errors are
|
|
supported. To do this, set the metadata header,
|
|
``X-Container-Meta-Web-Error``.
|
|
|
|
Error pages are served with the status code pre-pended to the name of
|
|
the error page you set. For instance, if you set
|
|
``X-Container-Meta-Web-Error`` to ``error.html``, 401 errors will
|
|
display the page ``401error.html``. Similarly, 404 errors will display
|
|
``404error.html``. You must have both of these pages created in your
|
|
container when you set the ``X-Container-Meta-Web-Error`` metadata, or
|
|
your site will display generic error pages.
|
|
|
|
You only have to set the ``X-Container-Meta-Web-Error`` metadata once
|
|
for your entire static website.
|
|
|
|
Set error pages for static website request
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ swift post -m 'web-error:error.html' container
|
|
|
|
|
|
Any 2\ ``nn`` response indicates success.
