I’ve hosted the weweb-server on Azure and I’m trying to fetch the project files from s3 bucket. I’ve added the right configuration to the environment variables as well. When I download the project files and put the in my bucket, weweb dashboard is not able to recognize any files for the version.

Even after switching to local storage from s3, I’m not able to see the project files.

Hi, you don’t need the weweb server anymore since the last update. You can export your project files from the deployments tab, by clicking on the three dots on a recent version (should be a version published after the summer update). You can then host the files on any web server

Could you elaborate more on that? Is there a documentation that I could follow?

There is no specific documentation, you can download the files and you can use any tutorial available for hosting a static website (html, js, css).

You can put the files on your own custom web server (Apache, nginx, etc), or push the files inside a github repository and link it to a service like Vercel that will host it for you

You have access to the raw files that require a build step (you have to choose a vue project in vercel for exemple), or the already built files (don’t require any extra step, the files are ready to be hosted)

My project does not have index.html in the root directory to help with the static website hosting. Is there any documentation/tutorial on how to structure the project in the right way?
