Serving it shouldn&rsquo;t need one server for the files and another in front for TLS. BareProxy does both: copy the build output to a small server, point one rule at it, and the site is live over HTTPS and HTTP/2.</p> <p>The rules are opinionated so that they need no rewrite language. <code>/about/</code> serves <code>about/index.html</code>. <code>/about</code> redirects to <code>/about/</code> when it&rsquo;s a folder. Folders are never listed, and names that start with a dot, like <code>.git</code>, are never served. <code>error 404 /404.html</code> sends Hugo&rsquo;s own 404 page for anything missing.</p>
