$ docker build -t mywebsite .
$ # run with default configs
$ docker run -p 8080:3000 mywebsite
$ # run with custom configs
$ docker run -e PORT=2000 -e NF_FILE=404.html -e IDX_FILE=index.html -p 8080:2000 mywebsite

## Internals
_hastatic_ is written in Haskell, just [70 lines](https://github.com/abhin4v/hastatic/blob/master/src/Main.hs#L25) of it. It uses the excellent [Warp](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/warp) server underneath with the [warp-tls](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/warp-tls) package for HTTPS support.
