Caddy
=====
Caddy is a general-purpose web server that's easy to use.
[Caddy](https://caddyserver.com) is a general-purpose web server that's easy to use.
Quick Start
------------
Please see [the Caddy website](https://caddyserver.com/docs) or the [README](https://github.com/mholt/caddy/blob/master/README.md) for instructions and documentation.
To start a static file server in the current directory, get Caddy and run:
```
$ caddy
```
### This wiki is for developers
Then load localhost:8080 in your browser.
The pages of this wiki serve as a guide for developers who would like to hack on the project or use its middleware in their own Go programs.
Chances are, though, that you want to serve pages under a different hostname (your domain) and port (80 or 443).
1. Make a file called `Caddyfile` with these contents:
```
mydomain.com:80
```
2. Run `caddy`. If the Caddyfile isn't in the current directory, specify the path: `caddy -conf=/path/to/Caddyfile`
3. To configure Caddy further, refer to the Caddyfile documentation.
You can extend Caddy by writing middleware for it. How to do that is (basically) described in this wiki -- see the other pages.
All are invited to edit and improve this wiki.
