if you follow the latest developments, you might have seen that LAVA is now using whitenoise to allow gunicorn to serve static files.

In the current releases (2020.01 and before), apache2 is forwarding dynamic requests to gunicorn and serving static files himself.

In the next release, apache2 will forward all the requests to gunicorn that will serve both dynamic and static content.

If you use the debian packages, apache2 will still be installed and configured automatically.

We are proposing to drop the apache2 packages from the lava-server docker container. In fact, if you use the docker container, you have anyway to setup a reverse proxy to make the container visible to the outside world and to do the SSL termination.
