<a href=https://www.digitalocean.com/>DigitalOcean</a> account for small experimental
projects I dabble in. And this has resulted in quite a bill. I mean, I wouldn't
care if these projects were actually being used. But there were just being there
unused and wasting resources. Which makes this an unnecessary burden for me.<p>Most of them are just small HTML pages that have an endpoint or two to read data
from or to, and for that reason I wrote servers left and right. To be honest,
all of those things could have been done with <a href=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Gateway_Interface>CGI
scripts</a> and that would
have been more than enough.<p>Recently, I decided to stop language hopping and focus on a simpler stack which
includes C, Go and Lua. And I can accomplish all the things I am interested in.<h2 id=finding-a-web-server-replacement>Finding a web server replacement</h2><p>Usually I had <a href=https://nginx.org/en/>Nginx</a> in front of these small web servers
and I had to manage SSL certificates and all that jazz. I am bored with these
things. I don't want to manage any of this bullshit anymore.<p>So the logical move forward was to find a solid alternative for this. I have
ended up on <a href=https://caddyserver.com/>Caddy server</a>. I've used it in the past
but kind of forgotten about it. What I really like about it is an ease of use
and a bunch of out of the box functionalities that come with it.<p>These are the <em>pitch</em> points from their website:<ul><li><strong>Secure by Default</strong>: Caddy is the only web server that uses HTTPS by
default. A hardened TLS stack with modern protocols preserves privacy and
exposes MITM attacks.<li><strong>Config API</strong>: As its primary mode of configuration, Caddy's REST API makes
it easy to automate and integrate with your apps.<li><strong>No Dependencies</strong>: Because Caddy is written in Go, its binaries are entirely
self-contained and run on every platform, including containers without libc.<li><strong>Modular Stack</strong>: Take back control over your compute edge. Caddy can be
extended with everything you need using plugins.</ul><p>I had just a few requirements:<ul><li>Automatic SSL<li>Static file server<li>Basic authentication<li>CGI script support</ul><p>And the vanilla version does all of it, but CGI scripts. But that can easily be
fixed with their modular approach. You can do this on their website and build a
custom version of the server, or do it with Docker.<p>This is a <code>Dockerfile</code> I used to build a custom server.<pre tabindex=0 style=background-color:#fff><code><span style=display:flex><span><span style=color:#00f>FROM</span><span style=color:#a31515> caddy:builder AS builder</span><span>

over the place.<p>I decided to move all the projects and services into two main VMs:<ul><li>personal server (still Nginx)<ul><li>git server<li>static file server<li>personal blog</ul><li>projects server (Caddy server)<ul><li>personal experiments<li>other projects</ul></ul><p>I will focus on projects' server in this post since it's more interesting.<h2 id=testing-cgi-scripts>Testing CGI scripts</h2><p>The first thing I tested was how CGI scripts work under Caddy. This is
particularly import to me because almost all of my experiments and mini projects
need this to work.<p>To configure Caddy server, you must provide the server with a configuration
file. By default, it's called <code>Caaddyfile</code>.<pre tabindex=0 style=background-color:#fff><code><span style=display:flex><span>{

like this <code>/usr/bin/caddy run --watch --environ --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile --adapter caddyfile</code>. Otherwise, Caddy will try to use a different format for
