Document Root (docroot)

A service to expose files from the local filesystem (specifically, for exposing a simple web frontend).

This service does not provide any client-side commands. Instead, when users are viewing the service endpoint from a browser they will be able to view HTML files from the directory.

A docroot service can be used in conjunction with the server.root_redirect setting which provides a browser-friendly homepage for the server (example).

Server Configuration Options

  • path – the directory which has browser frontend files and which will be served at the endpoint
