Managing Website Files

Lifeboat allows developers to serve normal websites on the same server as Xojo Web apps. Serving static files directly through nginx instead of the Xojo Web app can offload stress from the Xojo Web app. Optimized technologies like nginx can serve large files to users faster as well.

Selecting the Website Files navigator item in the sidebar will list all the directories configured to serve static files and normal websites.

Double clicking on an entry will attempt to show the most relevant view. If an entry is configured with an address, double clicking will show the remote directory and it's contents. If no address is configured, the Website File configuration view will be displayed.
