HTTP's error pages

One day you may want to replace the standard error pages of your HTTP server with something more original and pretty. That's what this repository was created for :) It contains:

• Simple error pages generator, written in Go
• Single-page error page templates with different designs (located in the templates directory)
• Fast and lightweight HTTP server
• Already generated error pages (sources can be found here, the demonstration is always accessible here)

🔥 Features list

• HTTP server written in Go, with the extremely fast FastHTTP under the hood
  • Respects the Content-Type HTTP header (and X-Format) value and responds with the corresponding format (supported formats are json and xml)
  • Writes logs in json format
  • Contains healthcheck endpoint (/healthz)
  • Contains metrics endpoint (/metrics) in Prometheus format
• Lightweight docker image (~4.3Mb compressed size), distroless and uses the unleveled user by default
• Go-template tags are allowed in the templates
• Ready for integration with Traefik (error pages customization) and Ingress-nginx
• Fully configurable (take a look at the configuration file and project Wiki)
• Distributed using docker image and compiled binary files

🧩 Install

Download the latest binary file for your os/arch from the releases page or use our docker image:

Registry	Image
Docker Hub	tarampampam/error-pages
GitHub Container Registry	ghcr.io/tarampampam/error-pages

Using the latest tag for the docker image is highly discouraged because of possible backward-incompatible changes during major upgrades. Please, use tags in X.Y.Z format

🛠 Usage

Please, take a look at our Wiki for the common usage stories:

• HTTP server (routes, formats, flags and environment variables)
• Pages generator (build your own error page set)
• Static error pages (extract generated static error pages from the docker image)
• Usage with nginx (include our error pages into an image with nginx)
• Usage with Traefik and local Docker Compose (it's a good starting point for the tests)
• Usage with Traefik and Docker Swarm
• Kubernetes & ingress nginx
