Try Caddy once; it’s a revelation. I have committed fairly atrocious crimes with nginx over the years, only to figure out just how much better I could have had it.


I've tried to try - yet still on Nginx as my primary web server and Apache somewhat secondary (with may be 5% for Apache and 95% for Nginx) web server of choice.

No doubts I'm not an expert in Caddy and there are some chances it has unique selling proposition, but I'm yet to find it.

My take on Caddy was - something to let your quickly-crafted-something-newshiny-loneley-dev-docker-container-to-be-available-to-the-world - sort of the same case if I do some tests (we call it MVP here) on my great-idea Flask app and I need plain reverse proxy in front of it with SSL termination, as noone except me and may be couple of Shodan bots won't see.

Yet not mentioned unclear stable releases policy for Caddy.


I tried. I failed to configure it to work as a proxy that proxypasses to php-fpm.

I'd call it's configuration way less intuitive than the one of ngnix (and I wouldn't call myself a great enjoyer of ngnix configuration).
