Overview Caddy is the open source web server and reverse proxy that makes HTTPS automatic. This image delivers Caddy fully installed and configured, so a working web server is up and serving within minutes of launch, with no package management or repository setup required. The release available is Caddy 2.
What Is Included The Caddy web server, installed from the official Caddy team repository and enabled as a system service that starts on boot. A default site configuration serves a landing page over HTTP on port 80. The configuration file and document root are ready to edit, and a customer swaps in their own domain to turn on automatic HTTPS.
Automatic HTTPS Caddy provisions and renews TLS certificates automatically. Point a DNS record at the instance, add the domain to the configuration file, reload the service, and Caddy obtains a publicly trusted certificate on the first request and keeps it renewed. There is no separate certificate client to install or schedule.
Dedicated Web Content Tier The document root and the site files served by the web server live on a separate, independently resizable storage volume. The web content tier is kept off the operating system disk so it can be grown without disturbing the rest of the instance.
Headless First Boot The web server has no admin web interface and no password to manage; configuration is file based or through a loopback-only admin interface. On the first boot of your instance a one shot service records a short, non secret information file describing the listening ports and the configuration paths.
Ready To Use The web server service is enabled and serving. Connect over SSH, edit the configuration file, add your site or reverse proxy rules, and reload the service.

Usage instructions
Connect via SSH on port 22 as the default login user for your operating system variant (the user guide lists it per variant). Caddy is already installed, enabled and serving a default landing page over HTTP on port 80. Confirm the server is up with: curl http://localhost/ and systemctl status caddy. To host your own site, edit /etc/caddy/Caddyfile and place files under /var/www/html, then run: sudo systemctl reload caddy. For automatic HTTPS, point a DNS record at the instance, replace the :80 site block with your domain name, and reload; Caddy obtains a TLS certificate on the first request. The listening ports and configuration paths are recorded in /stage/scripts/caddy-info.log.
