As part of our filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy relief, Akamai has acquired select assets from Edgio, including certain customer contracts from our content delivery, applications, and security businesses, but not including Uplynk. We encourage any active Edgio delivery, applications, or security customers that are not already engaged with Akamai to migrate their services, to contact their local Akamai office or support@edg.io as soon as possible to help avoid service interruptions. Service will end on January 15, 2025.


Any Edgio Uplynk customers can reach out to support@uplynk.com for any questions or concerns.

Configuring your VitePress app for Edgio

Initialize your project

In the root directory of your project run edgio init:
Bash
1edgio init --edgioVersion ^6.0.0
This will automatically update your package.json and add all of the required Edgio dependencies and files to your project. These include:
  • The @edgio/core package - Allows you to declare routes and deploy your application on Edgio
  • The @edgio/prefetch package - Allows you to configure a service worker to prefetch and cache pages to improve browsing speed
  • edgio.config.js - A configuration file for Edgio
  • routes.js - A default routes file that sends all requests to VitePress.

Configure the routes

Update routes.js at the root of your project to the following:
JavaScript
1// This file was added by edgio init.
2// You should commit this file to source control.
3

4import { Router } from '@edgio/core/router'
5

6export default new Router()
7  // Create serveStatic route for each file in the folder docs/.vitepress/dist with a cache-control header of 's-maxage=315360000'
8  .static('docs/.vitepress/dist')
Refer to the CDN-as-code guide for the full syntax of the routes.js file and how to configure it for your use case.

Run the VitePress app locally on Edgio

Create a production build of your app by running the following in your project’s root directory:
Bash
1yarn docs:build
Test your app with the Sites on your local machine by running the following command in your project’s root directory:
Bash
1edgio dev
Load the site http://127.0.0.1:3000
