Create React App

This is a Create React App starter that uses Caddy.

✨ Features

• Create React App
• Caddy

💁‍♀️ How to use

• Install required dependencies with npm install

• Start the server for development npm run dev

  (The original start command has been more appropriately renamed to dev)

❓ Why use Caddy when deploying to Railway?

Caddy is a powerful, enterprise-ready, open source web server, and therefore Caddy is far better suited to serve websites than Vite is, using Caddy will result in much less memory and cpu usage compared to serving with Vite (much lower running costs too)

To see how this is achieved with nixpacks, check out the fully documented nixpacks.toml file in this repository

The configuration for Caddy is called a Caddyfile, and you can edit that file to further suite your needs, by default it comes configured to serve a single page app for Vue 3, and to also gzip the responses

Relevant Caddy documentation:

• The Caddyfile
• Caddyfile Directives
• root
• encode
• file_server
• try_files
