If you installed Caddy via the apt repo, then you don’t need to run Caddy yourself, because it runs as a systemd service. Instead, see this page in the docs to see how to use Caddy when it’s running as a service:

Keep Caddy Running - Caddy Documentation

But, keep in mind you may have another web server already running as well, causing even Caddy as a systemd service to fail to start.

Make sure you don’t have Apache or Nginx installed previously, which would be already listening on port 80.
