Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/retspen/webvirtmgr/issues/401

As the /static directory does not contain any files that would need login protection etc. the files should be served directly by Nginx (reduces load on app, faster).

The following location block can be used for that:

location /static/ {
    root /srv/www/webvirtmgr/; // or /var instead of /srv
    expires max;
}

PS: The official WebVirtMgr website is very out-of-date and may lead to wrong information about WebVirtMgr when reading through it. You might consider either updating it or simply redirect to this repo. Just a hint :)

I added this to wiki. WebVirtMgr site and WebVirtMgr panel are different projects. WebVirtMgr site like SaaS for your server if they have insternet connection. I don't have free time for updating now.
