Caddy is an open-source web server that is easy to use and configure. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Caddy on Manjaro.
Before we start with the installation, ensure that your Manjaro system is up-to-date, and you have administrative privileges.
Caddy depends on certain libraries, tools, and packages to run smoothly. Thus, we need to install them using the following command:
sudo pacman -S wget tar xz-utils curl
Next, we need to download the Caddy package from the official website. We can use the following command to download it:
wget https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/releases/latest/download/caddy_latest_linux_amd64.tar.gz
After downloading the package, we need to extract its contents. We can do this using the following command:
tar -xvf caddy_latest_linux_amd64.tar.gz
Once the package is extracted, we need to move the Caddy binary to the /usr/local/bin/ directory. We can use the following command to do this:
sudo mv caddy /usr/local/bin/
To confirm that Caddy is installed correctly, we can check its version using the following command:
caddy version
If Caddy is installed correctly, it should output the current version.
Finally, we can start Caddy using the following command:
caddy start
This will start Caddy and allow us to use it as a web server.
In this tutorial, we walked you through the process of installing Caddy on Manjaro. Once installed, you can configure Caddy to serve your website or web application.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
