Set up a custom 404 page for static sites with Caddy 2

Here’s a quick example of setting up a custom 404 landing page if you use Caddy V2 to serve static sites, like this blog.
On Caddy 2
ma.ttias.be {
root * /var/www/html/ma.ttias.be/public
file_server
handle_errors {
@404 {
expression {http.error.status_code} == 404
}
rewrite @404 /404.html
file_server
}
}
The handle_errors directive allows you to create a new rule that mandates that every 404 page should be served /404.html.
This assumes you have a file called 404.html in your root directory (like I do here: ma.ttias.be/404.html) that can get served.
On Caddy 1
For completeness sake, here’s how it was done in Caddy V1.
ma.ttias.be {
root /var/www/html/ma.ttias.be/public
gzip
errors /var/www/html/ma.ttias.be/logs/error.log {
404 404.html
}
}
As part of the errors directive, you could specify which file to serve as a 404-error.
