-# The webui content is served as pre-compressed gzip content. While nginx can
-# handle this via the gzip_static directive (and we use that), the nginx
-# try_files directive (which we also use) searches the URI as-is. The suggested
-# workaround is to have an empty uncompressed file with the same name as the
-# compressed file. This does not impact the functionality of gzip_static.
-# So for eg if there's an index.html.gz, create an empty index.html. Same goes
-# for all the webui content.
