Asset Canister

dfinity/icskills

This is how you host a frontend on the Internet Computer. It handles static file deployment with certified responses that browsers can verify came from the blockchain, not a centralized server. The real value here is the mistakes section: it walks through the wrong `dir` path that silently breaks deploys, missing SPA rewrites that cause 404s on refresh, and the `ic_env` cookie bug if you pin asset canister Wasm below 0.30.2. Covers `.ic-assets.json5` configuration for routing and caching, automatic gzip and brotli compression, and programmatic uploads via the SDK. Use this when deploying React, Vue, or any static build output to IC.
