## What it is
A tiny (~80KB) Docker image based on BusyBox httpd for serving any static website. It supports multi-arch builds, gzip serving, reverse proxying, custom error pages, allow/deny rules, and basic auth via httpd.conf.

## Use cases
- serve a static website from the smallest possible docker image
- host a static site in a container with minimal footprint
- deploy a static site with basic auth in docker
- serve gzipped static files from a container
- run a tiny reverse proxy for static content
- host a static site on arm devices with docker

## When to choose
- you need the smallest possible container image for static file hosting
- you want a simple, zero-dependency static file server in docker
- you need multi-arch (amd64/arm64/armv7) static hosting
- you want basic auth or IP allow/deny rules without a full web server

## When to avoid
- you need dynamic content, server-side rendering, or a full application server
- you need advanced features like TLS termination, HTTP/2, or caching layers
- you already run nginx/caddy and just need another static site

## Facets
- artifact type: infra-config
