One thing that threw me in the beginning was that the docs didn't show examples in context. As an example, if you look at the basicauth docs it shows:
Where can I use this? Globally? In the top-level of the virtualhost definition? If I'm reverse proxying, do I put it inside the reverse_proxy stanza? I used Apache for years and the docs always stated what context directives could be used in, eg.
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#acceptpathinfo
You're meant to read https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/concepts#structure first, which explains that directives always go within a site block, and can sometimes be nested within other special directives like
handle
androute
.
