Serverless style hosting with caddy?

hendry · October 4, 2018, 11:09am

Hi guys,

So I am a serverless convert since all I do is setup a JSON file and issue one command up and boom it’s hosted / scalable / blah blah.

I was just thinking, to host a similar app, e.g.

or perhaps a more realistic example with a domain:

github.com

kaihendry/goserverless.sg/blob/master/up.json

{
  "name": "goserverless",
  "profile": "gosls",
  "hooks": {
    "build": "CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o server *.go"
  },
  "regions": [
    "ap-southeast-1"
  ],
  "stages": {
    "production": {
      "domain": "goserverless.sg"
    },
    "staging": {
      "domain": "beta.goserverless.sg"
    }
  },
  "error_pages": {
    "variables": {
      "support_email": "hendry@goserverless.sg",

This file has been truncated. show original

with caddy, I would have to:

Set up a .service file to run service on a certain port. Guess I would add some complexity to the service file to to pull on restart so I have a way to update it
Create a caddy proxy configuration for that service on the certain port

Has anyone make these couple of awkward steps… one or no steps? That’s what I am looking for!

Thanks in advance,
