How do I configure a static site build path?

Posted on October 29, 2020

I’m trying to get started with the new DigitalOcean Apps. Since I’m using a non-standard static site generator (jigsaw). I have problems finding solid documentation on how to set the static site build or output path.

I did find some documentation and samples showing a .do folder with an app.yaml and other yaml configuration, although trying to use the same did not work for me. It seemed like those config files got ignored by DO and I also couldn’t find any settings to add configuration on my own.

The error message I’m getting is the following: => Static site output directory is not explicitly set, attempting to look for static files sitename | 15:34:47 Checking /workspace/_static sitename | 15:34:47 Checking /workspace/dist sitename | 15:34:47 Checking /workspace/public sitename | 15:34:47 ! No static site build path was found

I’d be glad for any help. Thanks.
