Caddy in one click.

Caddy is a http server with automatic https via lets encrypt you can run on your own machine. Launch it in Even Stacks in one click, serve it over trusted HTTPS, and let your AI agents operate it.

What is Caddy?

Caddy is a web server and reverse proxy written in Go that automatically provisions and renews TLS certificates via Let's Encrypt. It uses a simple declarative Caddyfile for configuration.

Run Caddy in Even

Even Stacks launches Caddy as a managed container on your own machine. No compose files, no manual setup.

  1. Open the Even Stacks panel in Even. The container engine starts on demand.
  2. Find Caddy in the one-click services and click Launch.
  3. Even pulls the image, starts it on port 8604, and serves it over trusted HTTPS at https://caddy.localhost.

Drive Caddy with your AI agents

Even ships an MCP, so any agent you run inside Even (Claude Code, Codex, and more) can operate Caddy directly, at both the UI level and the container level.

Through the Even MCP an agent can run commands inside it, check its status and logs, and reconfigure it. It runs commands inside the container, reads its logs, and for web apps opens and clicks through the interface in Even's own browser pane. Ask once, for example "set up Caddy and get it ready", and the agent handles it end to end.

How agents reach it: Edit the Caddyfile in the mounted config volume, then reload with docker exec <container> caddy reload --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile for zero-downtime updates. Alternatively POST a JSON config to the Admin API at http://localhost:2019/load. Logs stream to stdout.
