## Common questions

### How do I expose goStatic on Fly.io?

GoStatic uses port 8043 by default, so add -p 8043 to your fly init command when creating the project to route traffic to port 80.

### Does the goStatic container need anything beyond the Go binary to serve files?

No, Go can generate a fully static binary, so you don't need anything else.

### Does goStatic provide monitoring endpoints?

Yes, it includes Prometheus metrics and a health endpoint.
