Does Caddy server serves Django static and media files?

No. 4 of this says

Take care of your statics and medias

Normally I takes care them by Nginx in dev-server or S3/CloudFront in prod-server. But this time I judge Caddy is a webserver like Nginx. Then I read on the DockerFile. But I couldn't find any example of them

Question:
My understanding is when I use Caddy I have to use something else to serve statics and medias. Am I correct? If not please show the reference then I will study further

The new version of Caddy doesn't support except directive.

You can serve static files like this:

    domain.tld {
        root /var/www/project/folder

        handle {
          reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:8080
        }

        handle /static/* {
          file_server
        }
        handle /media/* {
          file_server
        }
    }

According to caddy website it is able to serve static files. You can tell Caddy to serve static files by using except keyword:

    domain.tld {
        root /var/www/project/folder
        proxy / localhost:8000 {
            transparent
            except /static
        }
    }

Assuming that your static files are stored under /var/www/project/folder/static, any url that begins with domain.tld/static/ should be served by Caddy server as static file.
