|
||||
- Can coordinate with other Caddy instances in a cluster
|
||||
- Multi-issuer fallback

||||
- **Production-ready** after serving trillions of requests and managing millions of TLS certificates
|
||||
- **Scales to tens of thousands of sites** ... and probably more
|
||||
- **HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and experimental HTTP/3** support
|
||||
- **Highly extensible** [modular architecture](https://caddyserver.com/docs/architecture) lets Caddy do anything without bloat

||||
- **Runs anywhere** with **no external dependencies** (not even libc)
|
||||
- Written in Go, a language with higher **memory safety guarantees** than other servers
|
||||
- Actually **fun to use**
|
||||
- So, so much more to discover

## Install

You can install Caddy by downloading from the Github Releases and placing it in your PATH.
|
||||
The simplest, cross-platform way is to download from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/releases) and place the executable file in your PATH.

### For development
|
||||
|
||||
_**Note:** These steps [will not embed proper version information](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/29228). For that, please follow the instructions in the next section._
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ git clone "https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy.git"
|
||||
$ cd caddy/cmd/caddy/
|
||||
$ go build
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
_**Note:** These steps [will not embed proper version information](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/29228). For that, please follow the instructions below._
|
||||
When you run Caddy, it may try to bind to low ports unless otherwise specified in your config. If your OS requires elevated privileges, you will need to give your new binary permission to do so. On Linux, this can be done easily with: `sudo setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep ./caddy`
|
||||
|
||||
If you prefer to use `go run` which creates temporary binaries, you can still do this. Make an executable file called `setcap.sh` (or whatever you want) with these contents:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/bin/sh
|
||||
sudo setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep "$1"
|
||||
"$@"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
then you can use `go run` like so:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ go run -exec ./setcap.sh main.go
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you don't want to type your password for `setcap`, use `sudo visudo` to edit your sudoers file and allow your user account to run that command without a password, for example:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
username ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/setcap
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
replacing `username` with your actual username. Please be careful and only do this if you know what you are doing! We are only qualified to document how to use Caddy, not Go tooling or your computer, and we are providing these instructions for convenience only; please learn how to use your own computer at your own risk and make any needful adjustments.
