Wondering if it is possible to customize the 404 page displayed for a dokku app.
For example, if example.my-domain.com is a working nginx app, can I point example.my-domain.com/nonsense-url-that-is-not-there to something like example.my-domain.com/404.html?
nginx v1.6.2
dokku v0.2.3
Allright, to customize the nginx template in use for the myapp application, create a file at /home/dokku/<appname>/nginx.conf.template with the default contents.
Edit this file to your needs, so use your custom 404 page error etc.
After your changes a dokku deploy <myapp> will regenerate the /home/dokku/<appname>/nginx.conf file which is then used.
I hope this will work for you
You could edit your vhost to use a 404 page. Edit a vhost something like this:
server{
server_name www.foo.com;
root /srv/www/foo/public_html;
expires 1M;
access_log /srv/www/foo/logs/access.log;
error_log /srv/www/foo/logs/error.log;
error_page 404 /404.html;
location / {
index index.html;
rewrite ^/(.*)/$ /$1 permanent;
try_files "${uri}.html" $uri $uri/ =404;
}
location = /404.html {
internal;
}
}
Sorry to be dense, but what is the path to the vhost? I found /home/dokku/<app-name>/nginx.conf but that gets overwritten on each push. Also found /home/dokku/VHOST but that only has the domain in it.
Thanks. My version of dokku is 0.2.3, looks like this functionality was added in 0.3.10. I will update and then try this!
