Is it possible to rename static content folder? f.e from ../pub/static to /pub/statix
I saw 'base url for static view files' setting in the admin panel, but if I set it to {{secure_base_url}}/statix/ and re-deploy it, magento won't create that folder and I'll receive pages without css etc. URL will point to the statix, but there won't be that directory
Or maybe I could deploy that content to statix folder to make the urls work?
You cannot change the paths of static directories. It is an absolute path and will automatically generate every time you redeploy the site.
