Here is an example usage inside a Docker container containing (quite large) compiled JavaScript files:
```dockerfile
FROM golang:alpine as go
RUN set -ex \
& & apk add git \
& & go get -v github.com/Luzifer/gziphttp
FROM node:alpine as node
COPY . /src
WORKDIR /src
RUN set -ex \
& & npm ci \
& & npm run build
FROM alpine:latest
COPY --from=go /go/bin/gziphttp /usr/local/bin/
COPY --from=node /src/dist /usr/local/share/webtotp
EXPOSE 3000/tcp
CMD ["gziphttp", "-d", "/usr/local/share/webtotp"]
```
In this case `gziphttp` serves compressed files to most (all modern) browsers which ensures the download size of the JavaScript files does not hurt as much as it would without gzip compression.
