Caddy
Caddy is a HTTP/2 capable web server with automatic HTTPS.
Installation
Plugins
If you need more than the base version of caddy, you can use xcaddy-binAUR to customize your caddy server build. This is useful if you need the additional plugins for DNS challenge etc. Alternatively, if a pre-built package, with the plugins you require, is already available you may choose to install those from AUR, for eg. caddy-cloudflareAUR
For a custom caddy server build you can use xcaddy to build caddy with the necessary plugin modules:
xcaddy build [<caddy_version>] [--output <file>] [--with <module[@version][=replacement]>...]
For more information, see xcaddy
Configuration
Caddy 2 supports various configuration formats, see config adapters (caddyfile, nginx, json, yaml, toml, among others).
Most commonly, Caddy is configured using a plain text file called Caddyfile. The Caddyfile starts with (an optional global options block and) an address of the site to be served, and is followed by a number of directives.
A simple Caddyfile hosting the site at localhost:2020:
{
http_port 2020
}
localhost:2020
file_server
Usage
$ caddy help $ caddy help run
Caddy can be run by any user from the page's directory, and the Caddyfile should be in the same directory:
$ caddy run
Alternatively you may specify a custom Caddyfile:
$ caddy run -config ../path/to/Caddyfile
