- Description When sharing a Desktop or Window, users on the Teams Desktop App for Mac can now include their computer's sound. This allows other meeting participants to hear the audio playing out of your Mac's speakers while you are sharing (but not the meeting audio, of course). It is very helpful.

Recently Kirby Version 3.0 was released. As I have worked with Version 2 for quite some time in the past, I figured why not give it a try?
Just before Christmas, I bought a brand new MacBook Air, so it was obvious that I would like to try Kirby right away on it. I stumbled upon a great article on how to set up CaddyServer and PHP on MacOS. But I changed some of it.
CaddyServer, PHP and Kirby
Let's get started with a brief overview of what software I'm talking about.
PHP
I don't think I have much to say about PHP. It's probably one of the oldest Scripting Languages out there in the WebWorld. PHP was 'the' language for making your website 'dynamic'. And it was also the first language I discovered and learned to play around with.
CaddyServer
Mac Os Versions
Is a small but very powerful Web-Server which I discovered a few months ago. It has some really nice features like automatic SSL / HTTPs and a really easy configuration file (which you will see later). And it's blazing fast. :)
Kirby
Another great tool I discovered a few years ago. Basically, it's a CMS (Content Management System) based on a simple FileStructure. Even if you don't know much about PHP, it's relatively simple to get into creating templates for pages and extending the whole functionality.
Why?
Now that you know about all three projects, you might be asking why you should use them together. Well, there are multiple reasons for it:

Why?
Now that you know about all three projects, you might be asking why you should use them together. Well, there are multiple reasons for it:
- MacOS comes with a default apache2 installation, but as you might know, Apache is one of the biggest HTTP servers out there. It's widely adopted, but it has one downside. It eats memory and CPU like no other web-server out there. So if you're on the go, it also eats battery like crazy and I don't like that.
- Caddy is very lightweight and doesn't really use much Memory / CPU / Battery.
- Kirby, as I've said is easy to customize and extend. As it's a CMS, you don't need to worry about a database or application-specific logic from the beginning. That way you can prototype pretty fast, which leads to faster results and more satisfaction as you get things done. :)
Without further ado, let's get into setting it up:
First of all
It's essential to have homebrew installed, as package management get's a whole lot easier with it.
You can install it with a simple command:
PHP
Now that we have a package manager, it's time to install the correct PHP-version. Kirby needs at least PHP7.1 so I installed 7.2 :)
There are also some extensions which are needed:
CaddyServer
Now that we have PHP and some dependencies installed we can now install CaddyServer.
Simply download the suitable Version from https://caddyserver.com/download.
You will receive a zip file. Extract it and copy the executable to a path inside your $PATH (in my case /Users/phaidenbauer/bin/):
Kirby
Next one is Kirby. Again download the zip from https://getkirby.com/try.
Extract it somewhere you have your projects. In my case that's /Users/phaidenbauer/development/.
The next essential thing to get this whole thing running is the Caddyfile which tells Caddy what to do :)
Pigsodus demo mac os. Let's go through it:
localhost:8080 tells it on which Port it should listen. If you don't want to run it as root (or via set_cap) you should use something above 1024.
tls off disables the built-in SSL / HTTPS feature, as we are only working locally.
root ./ sets the root-path of the serving directory.
gzip enables the gzip-compression for responses.
The ugly game mac os. rewrite { r .* to {path} {path}/ /index.php?{path}&{query} } rewrites all incoming URLs to suite Kirby's needs. (It's probably not the best solution but it works fine for my development environment.)
fastcgi / 127.0.0.1:9000 php tells caddy to forward requests to a FastCGI-server. Which is, in our, case PHP.
Now we have two special functions.
As I mentioned earlier it is just a MacBook Air, so I don't want to have PHP running all the time. Especially when I don't need it. The great thing is caddy can run commands on events. In this case, we use the startup and shutdown event to start and stop PHP. Great! No more waste of RAM and CPU while checking emails.
Start the whole thing :)
Now we are pretty much set. The last thing to do is start them all together and start working:
You should see something like this:
And that's it. Take your favorite browser and surf to http://localhost:8080. Depending on if you downloaded the Kirby-Plainkit or Kirby-Starter kit you should see a simple 'Hello' or a simple gallery.
Kirby Mac Os X
And that's it. Happy hacking :)
