To Install Caddy Web Server By Docker On Rocky Linux 8.6

Introduction:

Caddy is a Go language-based open-source, extensile, platform-independent web server. It is the only web server that uses HTTPS by default. It is both a tool for helping with tedious tasks and a way to organize multiple parts into a simplified system.

Installation Procedure:

Step 1: Check the OS version by using the below command

[root@linuxhelp ~]# cat /etc/os-release 
NAME="Rocky Linux"
VERSION="8.6 (Green Obsidian)"
ID="rocky"
ID_LIKE="rhel centos fedora"
VERSION_ID="8.6"
PLATFORM_ID="platform:el8"
PRETTY_NAME="Rocky Linux 8.6 (Green Obsidian)"
ANSI_COLOR="0;32"
CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:rocky:rocky:8:GA"

REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSI

Step 2: Create a Web content by using the below command

[root@linuxhelp ~]# vim index.html
<h1 style="background-color:DodgerBlue;">Welcome To Linuxhelp </h1>
<p style="background-color:Tomato;"> Installation of  Caddy Web Server by Docker on Rocky Linux 8.6 </p>

Step 3: Pull the Caddy Image from Docker Hub by using the below command

[root@linuxhelp ~]# docker pull caddy

[root@linuxhelp ~]# docker run --name webserver -p 80:80 -v $PWD/index.html:/usr/share/caddy/index.html -v caddy_data:/data caddy
