Selfhosted caddy on netcup's piko VPS

2024-07-30 by manu

This blog is self-hosted on netcup’s piko VPS G11s. The cheapest VPS money could buy and for the price it really is a steal! The best thing yet to come, custom images to install, including Arch Linux. Together with an 1.111B Class xyz domain this is a pretty cheap combo! What’s more, it is easier than I thought to get up and running an installation of Contao with the help of Caddy, the ultimate server. All I had to do, was installing caddy from the repositories along with mariadb and php-fpm. The configuration for the server itself couldn’t be any easier:

151190.xyz {

root * /srv/http/public/

php_fastcgi unix//run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock

encode zstd gzip

file_server

}

Who says 13 bucks can’t get you anywhere?
