wget -O caddy.tar.gz "https://caddyserver.com/download/linux/amd64?plugins=http.git&license=personal"
mkdir caddy
tar vxf caddy.tar.gz -C caddy
cd caddy

# install the binary :
sudo cp caddy /usr/local/bin
sudo chown root:root /usr/local/bin/caddy
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/caddy

# allow it to listen on protected ports :
sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /usr/local/bin/caddy

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