I'm using flask to serve a website rendered via sphinx. The problem is I can't get it to display my css and js properly as it is looking in the wrong places.
Folder structure
Container
├───server.py
├── html
│ ├── index.html
│ ├── _static
│ │ ├── css
│ │ │ ├── theme.css
index.html (excerpt)
<link rel="stylesheet" href="_static/css/custom.css" type="text/css" />
I can't change this as it is dynamically generated by sphinx.
server.py
from flask import Flask, redirect, url_for, render_template
app = Flask(__name__, root_path='html/', template_folder='', static_url_path='', static_folder='_static')
@app.route('/', methods=['GET'])
def home():
return render_template('index.html')
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run()
Error:
127.0.0.1 - - [22/Jan/2022 17:41:08] "GET /_static/css/custom.css HTTP/1.1" 404 -
So I have considered this topic: How to serve static files in Flask:
- set static path to root directly (static_url_path='')
- set static folder to _static (which is directly under root)
- set template folder to root folder (template_dir='')
Other than that I made html/ my root dir. But its still not working. What else do I have to do to make it work?
