Caddy Web server on Ubuntu

These are installation steps used to install Caddy Web Server. Guide followed is https://caddyserver.com/docs/install

Created a file caddy.sh, with following content:

sudo apt install -y debian-keyring debian-archive-keyring apt-transport-https
curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/caddy/stable/gpg.key' | \
    sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/caddy-stable-archive-keyring.gpg
curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/caddy/stable/debian.deb.txt' | \
    sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/caddy-stable.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade
sudo apt install caddy
sudo apt autoremove

Then run this file as:

bash caddy.sh

Simplest configuration

If your domain is hsrai.com (mapped to server under your control with IP address, say, 150.50.50.50), then following file named Caddyfile in folder /etc/caddy will server web-pages from folder /var/www/html, when you type https://hsrai.com in web-browser.

hsrai.com {
        # Set this path to your site's directory.
        root * /var/www/html
        # Enable the static file server.
        file_server

templates
encode gzip

try_files {path}.html {path}
}

Multi-Tenancy

Single instance of Caddy can serve mayweb-sites. We configure hsrai.com above. If we wish to host another web-site, say, rai.net, which also mapped to server with IP address, 150.50.50.50, from folder website/src (like web-site source maintained in repository named website, like https://github.com/caddyserver/website to be cloned in the user hsr's home folder, i.e. /home/hsr) under user named hsr, then ppend following to the content of already created file /etc/caddy/Caddyfile

Second web-site for rai.net

# Site 2: rai.net

rai.net {
        # Set this path to your site's directory.
        root * /home/hsr/website/src
        # Enable the static file server.
        file_server

templates
encode gzip

try_files {path}.html {path}

redir   /docs/json      /docs/json/
redir   /docs/modules   /docs/modules/
rewrite /docs/json/*    /docs/json/index.html
rewrite /docs/modules/* /docs/modules/index.html
rewrite /docs/*         /docs/index.html
}

Login as user hsr, and in user's home, i.e. in cd ~ or cd /home/hsr/

git clone https://github.com/caddyserver/website.git
chmod 711 /home/hsr
chmod -R 755 website

Reload Caddy's configuration by (you need to login with user having sudo privileges):

sudo systemctl reload caddy

Caddy web-server will serve web-pages from folder /home/hsr/website/src, when you type https://rai.net in web-browser.
