1. The problem I’m having:
I installed Caddy as described in the documentation for Debian/RaspbianOS
All went fine without errors.
But when I check the service with systemctl status caddy it shows as running and all is green, but it gives the following errors in the bottom
If I stop the service and run caddy manually with sudo caddy run from the dir where the caddyfile is (etc/caddy/caddyfile) then it just runs as expected.
Removing the log part of the caddyfile and caddy runs without errors.
Should caddy not be able to create files and directories by default?
What permissions should the user and group called caddy have?
2. Error messages and/or full log output:
write error: can't make directories for new logfile: mkdir logs: permission denied
3. Caddy version:
v2.8.4 h1:q3pe0wpBj1OcHFZ3n/1nl4V4bxBrYoSoab7rL9BMYNk=
