Has somebody run Ansible Tower with [Caddy web server](https://caddyserver.com/) and would like to share their Caddyfile? As Tower is a Python WSGI application I do not know how to connect the Caddy server to it. I want to use Caddy instead of the bundled Apache. Here are some starting points:

[A discussion on Caddys GitHub page](https://github.com/mholt/caddy/issues/176#issuecomment-161910764).

Apache config (/etc/httpd/conf.d/awx-httpd-80.conf):

`

RewriteEngine On

# don’t redirect HTTPs

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off

# don’t redirect /api traffic that requested explicit http://

RewriteRule ^/api - [L]  
RewriteRule (.\*) https://%{HTTP\_HOST}%{REQUEST\_URI}

ServerName localhost  
ServerAlias \*  
DocumentRoot /var/lib/awx/public

WSGIScriptAlias / /var/lib/awx/wsgi.py  
WSGIPassAuthorization On

WSGIDaemonProcess awx\_plain user=awx group=awx processes=2 threads=20 maximum-requests=1000 display-name=“%{GROUP}”  
WSGIProcessGroup awx\_plain

Alias /favicon.ico /var/lib/awx/public/static/favicon.ico
