Setting Up Caddy for Hugo Development
Introduction
Caddy is an open source web server that handles a lot of the tedious parts of running a website automatically, most notably encryption certificates for HTTPS [web:6]. If you have ever built a website on your own computer and had to view it through a plain, unencrypted http://localhost:1313 address, you already know the small friction that comes with local development: no padlock icon, occasional mixed-content warnings, and URLs that do not look anything like what your visitors will eventually see in production.
