Where do my websites go?
-------------------

The default site is `/srv/www/localhost`.

If you own a domain (say example.com) then you
should put a new folder in `/srv/www` (such as `/srv/www/example.com`)
and then edit `/etc/caddy/Caddyfile` to include a config such as this:

```Caddyfile
https://example.com {
  root /srv/www/example.com
}
https://www.example.com {
  redir https://example.com
}
```

Start caddy on boot
-------------------

Startup Scripts are installed by the installer :)

  * **systemd** (Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, etc)
  * **launchd** (OS X, macOS, Darwin)

Caddy should begin running on ports 80 and 443 as soon as you install it
and should automatically start on boot

Caveats
-------

### all platforms

`go` (in which `caddy` is written) doesn't support privilege deescalation
(running on root to bind to port 80 and 443 and then switching to a non-root user).

This isn't usually a problem, however, because the launchers (systemd et al) usually do.

### darwin / macOS / OS X

* `launchd` doesn't support privilege deescalation
* `authbind` doesn't work on recent versions of OS X

However, you can use [ipfw](https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/37418/how-can-i-open-port-80-so-a-non-root-process-can-bind-to-it) to locally port-forward.

Also, `launchd` is a pain to configure.
There's not much in the way of official documuntation...
but there is some [great unofficial documentation](http://www.launchd.info/)
and [LaunchControl](http://www.soma-zone.com/LaunchControl/)
([direct download](http://www.soma-zone.com/download/files/LaunchControl_1.30.1.tar.bz2))
makes it actually quite easy.
(ignore that the site looks like a 90s spam site - much like MakeMKV - it's actually legit)
