Hi!

I am working on adding a build of a Unity game I made to a static blog post (potentially non-static ones in the future) and I am having some troubles getting it to serve up the files properly. There are some issues in Unity with this type of build so I was anticipating having some issues based on this documentation: Unity - Manual: Deploy WebGL application which covers the case of an IIS or Apache server but unfortunately doesn’t say anything about a node.js server. It looks like I need to change the mime types to allow the .unityweb extension, which I have done in the nginx server

  • open ~/etc/nginx/mime.types
  • add the line for the proper mime type, save and close
  • restart nginx

The other thing of note in that documentation is around removing the file extension for .unityweb, and I am not sure if that is something I need to do in this case.

Note that the <remove fileExtension=".unityweb" /> lines are required to handle a situation when content type is already overridden at a higher level in the server directory’s hierarchy, which could otherwise cause a server exception.

I am wondering if there are more changes I need to make to the express server to facilitate this as well. On a previous project with a similar server architecture (nginx, express, node) I got a unity build working on a simple single page application by loading the files statically in express like:

siteApp.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, ‘public/unity’)));

I think part of my problem is figuring out where to store my Unity files. Should I store them in the express public directory ({ghost}/current/core/server/public)? Or since I am accessing them from inside my theme should I include them in the theme assets?

Sorry for the multi-part question, this has been plaguing me for days.
Happy to provide more info as needed.

Thanks!
Matt
