11/22/2021, 3:31 PMhi @Frank, hopefully a quick one - say for ex, I want to expose the bucket (where the notes are stored) as a static site - what would be the construct using sst StaticSite? essentially looking for a construct to expose a S3 bucket via a CF distribution. I dont have a “path” per se as I want the contents (say publicly accessible images) of the S3 bucket to be exposed via a custom domain..

11/22/2021, 3:32 PMStaticSite current cannot do this afaik. How are you creating / managing the s3 bucket?
thdxr
11/22/2021, 3:33 PMWhat you can do is drop down into CDK and use their CF distribution construct to create a distribution pointing to the bucket: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/latest/docs/aws-cloudfront-readme.html#from-an-s3-bucket

karthik
11/22/2021, 3:34 PMok, so the StaticSite has no implementation of this?

11/22/2021, 3:39 PMYeah staticsite is for creating an s3 bucket + cf distribution from files you build locally

11/22/2021, 3:40 PMok, so let me try this then..
new cloudfront.Distribution(this, ‘myDist’, {
defaultBehavior: { origin: new origins.S3Origin(bucket) },
});

11/22/2021, 3:48 PMi suppose I have to now use CDK to create the cert etc to feed it to CF distrib as StaticSite construct cannot be used then, right?

11/22/2021, 3:48 PMit will be great if we can expand StaticSite to use S3 as a source at some point 🙂

Gotcha. Yeah StaticSite is more for hosting websites. In this case, I think it’d makes sense if we added a prop to the
Bucket
