It's a bit of a pain, there's no privdrop code so in order to provide service on the standard http/https port numbers you either need to run as route or use PF or something else to redirect/proxy the connections. On Linux they use setcap to allow non-privileged processes to bind to privileged ports but that's not really desirable and is not possible with OpenBSD. In general go ports are a total pain as well. A basic port would look something like https://junkpile.org/caddy.tgz -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
