This project uses NGINX in front of Jekyll to serve any number of single-page static sites from one or more shared templates.

Contributing

See CONTRIBUTING.md

Notes

• You can use a wildcard domain and tweak the NGINX configuration to serve sites on subdomains instead.
• Your Heroku app must set NGINX_WAIT_ENABLED=0 in config variables or bin/start-nginx (from the NGINX Heroku buildpack) will hang waiting for /tmp/nginx.socket to be created.
• Heroku's official static site buildpack does not offer sufficiently low-level configuration for the NGINX setup we need, and the original NGINX buildpack is outdated and does not support the heroku-16 stack.
