Caddy is an open-source web server that is fast, easy to use and highly extensible. It is designed to be simple to use for beginners, but also offers advanced features for expert users. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Caddy on EndeavourOS latest.
Before we begin, you will need the following:
Before installing any package, it’s always recommended to update the system. To update your system enter the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -Syu
This command will update the system to the latest version.
You can download Caddy from the official website - https://caddyserver.com/
wget https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/caddy/stable/cfg/packages/caddy_2.4.5_linux_amd64.tar.gz
After downloading the Caddy archive, extract it to your system using the following command:
tar -xvzf caddy_2.4.5_linux_amd64.tar.gz
Now, move the extracted binary file to the /usr/bin/ directory using the following command:
sudo mv caddy /usr/bin/
Create a new Caddy configuration file in the /etc/caddy directory. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
Here is an example Caddyfile:
localhost {
root * /var/www/html
file_server
}
You can test the Caddyfile using the following command:
sudo caddy validate
If the output says, “Syntax OK” then you can proceed with the next step.
You can start the Caddy server by running the following command:
sudo caddy run
Caddy is now installed and running on your EndeavourOS latest system.
