 Note that setting the value of `copyOnBuild` to false means that when you run `rsbuild preview` for a production preview, you will not be able to access the corresponding static resources.

+### Path Types
+
+The value of `name` can be set to a relative path or an absolute path. Relative path will be resolved relative to the project root directory.

+- Example of a relative path:

+  server: {
+    publicDir: {
