About the project

Caddy is web server with automatic HTTPS and a simple routing configuration. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

Governance sits with the project's own team. They decide what ships, how often it ships, and which platforms are supported.

Typical distribution routes

Packaging differs from project to project. Some publish to system repositories, some to their own index, some only as source archives that a build tool expects.

What to confirm beforehand

Check platform requirements first. Recent releases usually need a current runtime and a reasonably modern system.

Once it is in place

A version query afterwards is usually enough to confirm the environment picked it up. If the result is unexpected, the usual causes are a stale path entry or a version manager resolving to a different release.

Notes on this domain

Nothing is published from this domain beyond text. Projects stay where their maintainers put them.
