+# 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.
