Step-by-Step Guide to caddy Deployment

1. Docker Image Selection:

   • Docker Image Name: caddy

2. Application Details:

   • Application Name: caddy

     • Environment Variables: Define environment variables with keys and values (e.g., key=value).

   • Working Directory:

     The working directory is the starting point inside a container where an app's files are located. It affects relative file paths and operations. For example, if set to /usr/src/yourAPP, an app will reference files from there, like /usr/src/yourAPP/data.txt.

     • Working Directory: Set the working directory for the application (e.g., usr/src/yourAPP).

     • Here use ( use the path after " :" )

     • /usr/share/caddy/index.html
