How to Move Wordpress Site to Caddy?

[get2alex (Alex Morgan)]

Hello Guys,

I am good at writing content and building websites but I am new to hosting them.

I have heard about Caddy from the UptimeRobot blog and I am very much impressed with the Caddy Server.

I have a website i.e alexwebhosting.com that is currently running on Godaddy’s shared hosting account. I want to move it to Caddy so that I can also take the benefit of SSL and better speed.

Since I am not very good at managing servers, Can someone here help me out with steps to move my site to Caddy? Anything like step-by-step tutorial or a video will be a great help.

Thanks in advance.

You would need to have your host use Caddy or have a virtual server you can use yourself to set Caddy up.

Otherwise https://dreamhost.com offers free letsencrypt certs with their sites. (hosted on apache though

When you get rid of shared hosting. My WP install (Debian 8) with Cloudflare & VestaCP (hetzner.de) :`

curl https://getcaddy.com | bash -s personal http.cache,http.cors,http.expires,http.filemanager,http.git,http.ipfilter,http.minify,http.nobots,http.ratelimit,http.realip,tls.dns.cloudflare

sudo mkdir /etc/caddy
sudo mkdir /etc/ssl/caddy
sudo touch /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
sudo chmod 0770 /etc/ssl/caddy
sudo chown -R www-data:root /etc/ssl/caddy
sudo chown -R root:www-data /etc/caddy

sudo curl -s https: //raw.githubusercontent.com/mholt/caddy/master/dist/init/linux-systemd/caddy.service -o /etc/systemd/system/caddy.service

nano /etc/systemd/system/caddy.service

after Environment=CADDYPATH=/etc/ssl/caddy
goes:
Environment=CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY=
Environment=CLOUDFLARE_EMAIL=

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable caddy.service

Caddyfile

https://zenmod.in.rs, http://www.zenmod.in.rs { 
bind #Here goes public IP (It's best to have more than one.)
tls {
   dns cloudflare
   }   
   root /home/admin/web/zenmod.in.rs/public_html/
gzip
fastcgi / unix:/run/php/zenmod.sock php #you can install php7, HHVM. What more do you like.
rewrite {
if {path} not_match ^\/wp-admin
to {path} {path}/ /index.php?_url={uri}
}
}
