feature request: load web assets from offline

[nicks]

Currently, Tilt loads its web assets from a publicly readable google cloud storage bucket at
https://storage.googleapis.com/tilt-static-assets/

This is much easier for us to manage operationally. But it means that if you're offline, or have a firewall that's blocking this site for some reason, the Tilt web UI will fail to load.

One or two people in the #tilt channel have asked how hard it would be to make this work offline. I'm not totally sure, and haven't spent much time looking into using something like Packr to do this

(Current workaround is to only use Tilt when online, and unblock the above bucket in your firewall)

A workaround is building and running Tilt from source, and setting web-mode=local to serve local assets from your local system. See https://github.com/windmilleng/tilt/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#web-ui

Hello ✋,

I am also interested about this feature. :)

I think the Go team is working on a much more holistic solution to this problem golang/go#35950, so I'm eagerly watching what happens there

It can be all about DNS configuration you're using as I use google dns. Reset your DNS configurations and try it again.
