# The Caddyfile is an easy way to configure your Caddy web server.
#
# Unless the file starts with a global options block, the first
# uncommented line is always the address of your site.
#
# To use your own domain name (with automatic HTTPS), first make
# sure your domain's A/AAAA DNS records are properly pointed to
# this machine's public IP, then replace ":80" below with your
# domain name.

We the challenge is made on

http://myserver.duckdns.org/.well-known/ac.....

instead of:

http://myserver.duckdns.org:8180/.well-known/ac.....
