Hi all,

My apologies if this question is completely noob but I just can't figure it out.

I have a server running for the sole purpose of serving up my Jupyterlite instance. I build the instance and copy the contents of "_output" into my "/var/www/html" directory so that the contents of my "/var/www/html" directory look like this:

(jupyterlite) juno@jupyterlite:/var/www/html$ ls
api              consoles    icon-120x120.png    jupyter-lite.json           notebooks          static
bootstrap.js     doc         icon-512x512.png    jupyterlite.schema.v0.json  package.json       tree
build            edit        index.html          lab                         repl               xeus
config-utils.js  extensions  jupyter-lite.ipynb  manifest.webmanifest        service-worker.js

When I access my server from its IP address, I see that is loading data from the status bar but then the page is blank. The index.html page is loaded because I can view source and see the big JUPYTERLITE header in the page source.

Now, when I use python -m http.server 0.0.0.0 it serves my app. Is putting the output of the build into my /var/www/html not enough? Do I also need to run something like http.server to serve up my jupyterlite site? I thought that it was a static site so just dumping the files in to /var/www/html would be enough.

What am I not getting here?
