So you are trying to serve a static page in addition to Discourse in order to demonstrate server ownership? Coming at your challenge from a different angle I wonder if this would help?: [image] ProCourse Static Pages Plugin I’ve been doing freelance Disc…

Anything you put into /var/www/discourse/public inside the app container will be available until the next container rebuild. Persisting the static content is a matter of modifying the app.yml.
