Caddy is a webserver with https on BY DEFAULT and it is VERY PROUD of this fact.

Playbook DocumentationEdit

Caddy ConfigurationEdit

Tutorial/Primer

Caddy configuration file documentation

cli interface, flags and stuff

Noisebridge configurationEdit

The majority of entries in caddy.yml handle redirects from other noisebridte-ish domains like noisebridge.com to noisebridge.net.

apps like mailman, pipermail with http[s] endpoints are also configured.

DirectivesEdit

A list of directives seen in noisebridge caddy ansible playbook and their definitions.

prometheus
a metric reporting system.
gzip
serve sites from zipped archives
log
logging configuration
tls
override https default intentionally
redir
sends the client an HTTP redirect status code if the URL matches the specified pattern. It is also possible to make a redirect conditional.
root
specifies the root of the site. This is very useful, in fact required, if the root (/) directory of the website is not the same as where Caddy is being executed from.
index
sets the list of file names that are used as "index" files. When a directory path is requested instead of a specific file, the directory is checked for existing index files. The first matching file name is served.
header
manipulate response headers.
fastcgi
proxies requests to a FastCGI server.
rewrite
request one resource but actually be served another without an HTTP redirect. Rewrites are invisible to the client.

PluginsEdit

cgi
generate dynamic content on your website by means of command line scripts
