=====Caddy Server=====
Caddy is a reverse proxy and lightweight webserver that automatically acquires and uses https certificates.
Caddy is used here to host a list of links, the Love Letter counter, and reverse proxy many internal sites.

====Setup====
  * Set up DNS with Cloudflare using [[web:cloudflare|This Guide]]
  * For each domain used:
    * Navigate to each domain > ''DNS'':
      * Add wildcard CNAME record:
        * ''Add record''
        * ''Type'' > ''CNAME'' 
        * ''Name'' > '*'
        * ''Target'' > <domain name>
        * ''Proxy status'' > ''DNS only''
        * ''Save''
      * Add a 'SRV' record for any minecraft servers to allow accessing them using subdomains instead of port numbers
        * If not using a wildcard CNAME record, add a CNAME record for the desired subdomain as above
        * ''Add record''
        * ''Type'' > ''SRV'' 
        * ''Name'' > '_minecraft._tcp'
        * ''Priority'' & ''Weight'' > 0
        * ''Port'' > <port configured in minecraft server>
        * ''Target'' > <full sub.domain name desired>
        * ''Save''

===Install Caddy Server:===
  * Add a port forwarding rule in your router for tcp, port: ''http,https'' to the IP of this VM
  * Using an SSH client, connect to <hostname>:50001 then run:

<code bash>
# Allow http/https through iptables
sed -i "s/COMMIT/-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT\n-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT\nCOMMIT/" /etc/systemd/scripts/ip4save
reboot  # And then reconnect the SSH client

# Add the caddy group and user
groupadd --system caddy
useradd --system \
    --gid caddy \
    --create-home \
    --home-dir /var/lib/caddy \
    --shell /usr/sbin/nologin \
    --comment "Caddy web server" \
    caddy
