404 errors with hpcguix-web (e.g. for /packages.json) |

Thank you for the hint. hpcguix-web is awesome! I installed it locally
with the following declaration:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; added modules: (guix channels) (gnu services web)
(service hpcguix-web-service-type
(hpcguix-web-configuration
(specs
#~(define site-config
(hpcweb-configuration
(channels
(cons*
;; ...
%default-channels
)))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
When I open the website (http://127.0.0.1:5000) in the browser, no
packages are listed and the browser console shows 404-errors occurring
for the following routes:
http://127.0.0.1:5000/static/css/code.css
http://127.0.0.1:5000/static/images/h-separator-darker.png
http://127.0.0.1:5000/packages.json

Does hpcguix-web depend on a web-server (like nginx) to server a certain
folder? Or what am I missing?
