Welcome to Caddy

Oct 16, 2024

Caddy is a candidate for replacing the stalwart Nginx web server. The primary role played by Nginx is (was?) to distribute web requests to various services that may be running on various containers, including the ability to serve as the front end for load-balancing for high-demand websites. Caddy is reported to be easier to set up and includes SSL certification (which has been for years a pain for web developers). I haven't tried it, but will as a future episode of Stephen Follows Instructions.  Note that there is already a Caddy 2 that you should start with, as it is not compatible with the original Caddy.
