Answer 1

You could use the private folder instead and then use Assets.getText to load the contents of the file, then serve it with a server-side router from iron-router.

So off the top of my head the code would look something like this:

if (Meteor.isServer) {
  Router.map(function() {
    this.route('serverRoute', {
      path: '/',
      where: 'server',
      action: function() {
        var contents = Assets.getText('index.html');
        this.response.end(contents);
      }
    });
  });
}

Answer 2

this is what I put in bootstrap.js

Router.route('/', {
  where: 'server'
}).get(function() {
  var contents;
  contents = Assets.getText('index.html');
  return this.response.end(contents);
});
