Caddy
Caddy is a fast and extensible multi-platform HTTP/1, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3 web server with automatic TLS by default, providing HTTPS on every site.
Intallation
Caddy package is available in the Alpine Linux repositories. To install it run:
apk update apk add caddy
System scripts
If you are running OpenRC, then you can install those with:
apk update apk add caddy-openrc
If you are running runit, s6, or dinit, (or other), then there are no scripts packaged for your init systems yet. Please feel free to contribute a package with them.
Configuration
Caddy's default config file when using the Artix package is /etc/caddy/Caddyfile.
Upstream provides Caddyfile configuration documentation.
Here is a simple Caddyfile hosting the site at localhost:2020:
{ http_port 2020 } localhost:2020 file_server
Controlling Caddy
Start Caddy
After the installation Caddy is not running. To start Caddy, use start.
rc-service caddy start
Navigate a browser to the machine's address and a page should appear if you have configured /etc/caddy/Caddyfile correctly.
Enable Caddy on startup (if needed):
# rc-update add caddy
Edit the configuration in /etc/caddy/Caddyfile and run
# rc-service caddy restart
to enable your changes
