Isn't that the same for Nginx? You still have to compile when you add new plugin? Caddy is very easy to use. You can download the build with what you want from

  >Isn't that the same for Nginx? You still have to compile when you add new plugin? nope. That has been fixed with recent development versions that support loading plugins as shared libraries. For distros, that's very important because it allows them to ship much more configurable nginx packages as now plugins can be added as-needed.

  I'm not a big fan of this either. Now you need to keep track separately of what your snowflake build enables, and when it's time to update, or if you want to add something else, then you need to go back and fill out the form manually again, and update manually. Also, it makes distro packaging dreadful, since you can either ship nothing and be useless for nearly everyone, or ship everything and surprise users if they switch to the official builds and find out stuff is missing. Nginx used to be as bad, but that's been fixed recently. Personally Caddy is also not very useful for me, since I use a reverse proxy, and Caddy didn't seem very helpful there the last time I tried. Oh, and it would have been nice to be able to make it generate self-signed certificates for staging environments.

    What problems did you have with reverse proxying? The article says 0.9 can now generate self-signed certificates like so tls self_signed
