[Bug]: Static site default configuration ignores 404.html, and always responds w/ 200 status + home page (index.html) content

[tcg]

Error Message and Logs

There is no visible error. It appears to be configuration/behavior based.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Build a static site with an index.html and a 404.html file.
2. When configuring the resource, check the option for "static site"
3. Deploy
4. Visit a URL path that definitely does not exist. E.g., /some/path/that/does/not/exist

Additional Information

This appears to be related to this line:

coolify/bootstrap/helpers/shared.php

Line 4059 in f28eefe

try_files $uri $uri.html $uri/index.html $uri/index.htm $uri/ /index.html /index.htm =404;

I was able to find mention of this issue in a Discord thread, which appeared to have seen it resolved in a previous version: https://discord.com/channels/459365938081431553/1306307572814581862/1306309218432847976

It looks like this default config is assuming the static site is a SPA (based on the Git blame recent commit message).

I don't remember seeing any options in the Coolify UI to specify whether the static site should be considered a SPA / needs custom 404 page handling.

To overcome this issue for now, I'm using the "generate default config" option, and adjusting the relevant line.

e.g., this line:

try_files $uri $uri.html $uri/index.html $uri/index.htm $uri/ /index.html /index.htm =404;

becomes

try_files $uri $uri.html $uri/index.html $uri/index.htm $uri/  =404;

... which resolves the behavior.

It seems like this may be a valid configuration for SPA's, but breaks if trying to "just host static content".

I already use the new version that contains the fix (v399). You just need to regenerate the Nginx configuration.
