Required update for Digital Ocean - Wordpress Multisite - Caddy server configuration



Tweet

I set up a new Wordpress host (droplet) on Digital Ocean.  It is "WordPress on Ubuntu 24.04"

I configured it for subdirectory based Wordpress Multisite (MU) aka Wordpress Network.  

Digital Ocean has moved to using Caddy Server, instead of Apache2, which I have never used before.

Previously my Wordpress hosts all used Apache2 and you have to create a custom .htaccess to make MU work.  Caddy doesn't use an .htaccess file, so you have to update the CaddyFile itself (Caddy sonfiguration file) to make MU work.

A generic CaddyFile looks something like this:

example.com { root /var/www/html encode php_fastcgi unix//run/php/php-version-fpm.sock file_server }

To support Wordpress MU I hade to update to this:

example.com { root /var/www/html ## Added to resolve wp-admin issue for Multisite uri path_regexp (\/{1})(\w|\d|\s)+\/wp- /wp- ## END Added to resolve wp-admin issue for Multisite encode php_fastcgi unix//run/php/php-version-fpm.sock file_server }

I can admit I don't fully understand the CaddyFile, or Caddy Web Server, but this worked for me.

Good 1 on 1 Meeting Advice

From Blind, of all places…

You should be having three types of meetings -
1) 1:1's for 30 mins: your 1:1's should be weekly and this should be a "fear-free" zone where you discuss your day-to-day, key blockers, areas where they need help, etc.

2) Performance management: this should be monthly. As you learn/set your OKR's, this meeting should specifically be about how you are tracking . If any of my direct reports are faring badly, i'll also spend sometime in 1:1's recalibrating

3) Talent management: This is usually once a quarter for an hour and driven by the employee. Focuses on aspirations to get to the next level and training to help you get there.

Colorado elections clerk released from prison after governor commutes sentence

Let’s be truthful here  the Governor was THREATENED by the pResident.  He threatened the Governor and all the citizens of Colorado  

Peters was the first local election official to be charged with breaching security after the 2020 election. She snuck in an outside computer expert affiliated with My Pillow Chief Executive Mike Lindell — who himself denied that Trump lost the White House in 2020 — and the person copied the county’s Dominion Voting Systems computer server as it was updated in 2021.

Peters then joined Lindell onstage at a “cybersymposium” that promised to reveal proof that the election was rigged. Video and photos of the computer system upgrade, including passwords, were posted online. The move stoked false claims that voting machines were manipulated to steal the election from Trump.

Peters was convicted in 2024 of attempting to influence a public servant, conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, violation of duty and other crimes by jurors in Mesa County, a Republican stronghold that supported Trump. An appeals court upheld her conviction in April, but ordered Peters to be resentenced because it said the judge who sent her to prison wrongly punished her for speaking out about election fraud.
