Next, we need to configure Caddy to serve our website or application. The Caddy configuration file is usually located at /etc/caddy/Caddyfile. You can use any text editor to edit this file, like nano, vim or gedit. Here is an example configuration file for a simple website:
example.com {
root /var/www/html
log /var/log/caddy/access.log
errors /var/log/caddy/error.log
gzip
tls
}
In the above configuration:
example.com is your domain name./var/www/html is the root directory for your website./var/log/caddy/access.log is the path to the access log file./var/log/caddy/error.log is the path to the error log file.gzip enables Gzip compression.tls enables HTTPS with automatic certificate provisioning via Let's Encrypt.You can configure Caddy according to your website or application's specific requirements.
Once you have configured your website, you can start Caddy using the following command:
sudo caddy start
This will start the Caddy server. You can verify that the server is running by opening your web browser and visiting your website. You should see your website served by Caddy.
