Static directory (-s) serves index.html instead of Storybook

[jeef3]

I have static images etc in a public directory, as well as my applications index.html. I want to make the images available to Storybook (as some are used in my components). However, when I supply the -s parameter to serve the static directory, my index.html is served up instead of the Storybook app.

Repro

• Create a public directory in your app
• Place a index.html in it
• Start Storybook, providing ./public as the static dir: start-storybook -p 9001 -s ./public
• Browser to http://localhost:9001

Browser displays index.html content instead of Storybook app.

Yes. This is valid. But, I'm not sure how to fix it.

I think best way is to remove index.html from the static directory.
Is it possible to make that file as something like index.html.tmpl.

Otherwise, I'm open some ways to fix this.
(May be changing the order of middlewares)

Yeah, for now I have renamed my index.html 👍
