We can use Caddy to easily set up a server with https enabled to serve our website. Caddy takes care of the https certificates and auto renews them.

First we should create a caddy directory where the TLS data and config will be located.

We can then create a Caddyfile in that directory to define how we want to configure what to serve, set up reverse proxy, etc. See documentation here.

example.com {
    root * /srv
    file_server

    encode gzip zstd

    log {
        output file /var/log/caddy/access.log
    }
}

Then, we just run this Docker command to start it up.

sudo docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --name site \
     -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -p 443:443/udp \
     -v /home/user/web:/srv:ro \
     -v /home/user/caddy/Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile \
     -v /home/user/caddy/data:/data \
     -v /home/user/caddy/config:/config \
     -v /home/user/caddy/logs:/var/log/caddy \
     caddy

The caddy/logs directory is where the logs are located with information about visitors and which paths they visited.
