Configure Caddy

Unfortunately, Caddy’s brew formula doesn’t define a .plist file, which is needed to run it as a macOS service. Fortunately, the Caddy repo has one for us to use: https://github.com/mholt/caddy/blob/master/dist/init/mac-launchd/com.caddyserver.web.plist . Download it to your /Library/LaunchDaemons folder:

sudo curl -o /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.caddyserver.web.plist https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mholt/caddy/master/dist/init/mac-launchd/com.caddyserver.web.plist

This .plist makes some assumptions about where it’s going to store your Caddyfile, ACME assets, and temp folder, so we’ll have to make sure they’re all ready to go:

sudo mkdir -p /etc/caddy /etc/ssl/caddy /var/log/caddy /usr/local/bin /var/tmp
sudo touch /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
sudo chown _www:_www -R /etc/caddy /etc/ssl/caddy /var/log/caddy
sudo chmod 0750 /etc/ssl/caddy

[snip]

And now lets run Caddy (and have it start up at boot):

sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.caddyserver.web.plist

And we’re done here, too. You can find logs for troubleshooting purposes in /var/log/caddy .
