Summary

Caddy is a modern web-server that provides simplicity and security, with native support for Git and Let's Encrypt. It can be used to deploy a static website synced with a Git repository in under 5 minutes. The process involves downloading the Caddy binary, setting up DNS records, configuring the Caddyfile, installing the Systemd service file, and enabling the server to start on boot. Once set up, Caddy will check the Git repository for changes every five minutes by default, allowing for near-instant updates. DigitalOcean Cloud Firewalls can be configured to secure the server further.
