How to host static HTML files on Google App Engine?

Question

Is it possible to host a static HTML website on App Engine? And how to make my domain name work with it?

Answer 1

Yes you can host your static files on AppEngine. Just configure your app.yaml-file like the following

- url: /   static_dir: static_files 

And put your files in the directory static_files. This way every request is routed to your static files.

I just had the same problem and decided to use this solution... It serves static files from the root directory and uses index.html if you don't give an file. Hope that helps.

# re-direct to index.html if no path is give - url: /   static_files: index.html   upload: index.html  # access the static resources in the root director  - url: /(.*)   static_files: \1   upload: (.*)
