+===== caddy usage =====
+the caddyfile is where everything that configures your server will live. it's extremely easy to use but official caddy docs are confusing about it so i'll try to simplify.
+the file is in different locations depending on your OS. for linux, that location is ///etc/caddy/// and the file is just **Caddyfile** with no extension. i don't know where it is elsewhere and/or if it's not there for you as a linux user, then create the caddyfile anywhere in your system, then type the following in your terminal:
+<code>caddy -conf /path/to/Caddyfile</code>
+caddy should detect the caddyfile now. time to edit it!
+so the syntax goes like this:
+<code>example.com {
+root * /path/to/site
+file_server
+}</code>
