Feature: Custom Path for server

It would be nice to add a custom path for local server. Right now when you spin up the local server it builds out a dist directory to serve from. This creates a permissions conflict when using https with port 443 and when your builds export to dist as well.

paths: {
    src: 'src', // The source directory. Must include an index.js entry file.
    serve: 'local' // The directory local server runs from
    dist: 'dist', // The output directory.
    public: 'public' // The public directory (files copied to dist during build)
  },

Hi @EmilTholin,

Yes, I’m currently using it but not sure how to stop it from generating dist everytime react-static runs.

devServer: {
    host: 'local.xxxx.com',
    historyApiFallback: true,
    https: (USE_HTTPS) ? {
      key: fs.readFileSync('./cert/local-xxxx-com.pem'),
      cert: fs.readFileSync('./cert/local-xxxx-com.pem'),
      ca: fs.readFileSync('./cert/local-xxxx-com.pem')
    } : false,
    disableHostCheck: true,
    port: USE_HTTPS ? 443 : 5000
  },

Should be available in the latest release as a new config option: config.paths.devDist 😃
