Bundling just CSR into a single deployable to send to clients?

(I'm not talking about using Leptos's server side capability!)

Hi - I have a client-side only app and trunk build --release correctly builds the dist/index.html and associated assets. The challenge is that I don't want to actually host this anywhere, I want users to run this locally themselves and unfortunately, it's no longer possible to simply "unzip and open index.html" (because cross origin issues). And yes, I am that old ;-).

I could create an Axum crate and then build that, but this seems like such an obvious use-case that I'm surprised there isn't any prior art, something like trunk build --self-hosted or cargo leptos --csr --self-hosted which would do this for me?

I realise the conventional answer is "host it somewhere dummy" but is there a better option than copying dist/* into my own Axum crate?

Thanks!

so https://github.com/svenstaro/miniserve or https://static-web-server.net might be the best contenders...

I can't say we've considered bundling the CSR output with a server. I suspect you could write a small Rust server, and then embed all the other files for Leptos CSR into that binary to be served with it.
