Caddy is a HTTP/2 capable web server with automatic HTTPS.

Installation

The example snippet below will run Caddy on http://localhost and serving an example.html page.

services.caddy = {
  enable = true;
  extraConfig = ''
    http://localhost {
      encode gzip
      file_server
      root * ${
        pkgs.runCommand "testdir" {} ''
          mkdir "$out"
          echo hello world > "$out/example.html"
        ''
      }
    }
  '';
};

Configuration examples

SSL

Caddy will automatically try to acquire SSL certificates for the specified domain, in this example example.org. This requires you to configure the DNS records of your domain correctly, which should point to the address of your Caddy server. The firewall ports 80 and 443 needs to be opened.

caddy = {
  enable = true;
  virtualHosts."example.org".extraConfig = ''
    encode gzip
    file_server
    root * ${
      pkgs.runCommand "testdir" {} ''
        mkdir "$out"
        echo hello world > "$out/example.html"
      ''
    }
  '';
};

Reverse proxy

The following snippet creates a reverse proxy for the domain example.org, redirecting all requests to http://10.25.40.6

caddy = {
  enable = true;
  virtualHosts."example.org".extraConfig = ''
    reverse_proxy http://10.25.40.6
  '';
};

Redirect

Redirecting example.org and old.example.org to www.example.org

caddy.virtualHosts."example.org" = {
  extraConfig = ''
    redir https://www.example.org
  '';
  serverAlias = [ "old.example.org" ];
};

PHP FastCGI

Serving a PHP application in /var/www on http://localhost .

services.caddy = {
  enable = true;
  virtualHosts."http://localhost" = {
    extraConfig = ''
      root    * /var/www
      file_server
      php_fastcgi unix/var/run/phpfpm/localhost.sock
    '';
  };
};

You'll need a PHP-FPM socket listening on Unix socket path /var/run/phpfpm/localhost.sock.
