This is incorrect, or at least only half-true.
Caddy is still Apache 2.0 licensed. You can use it for free for commercial purposes. You just can't use the build server at caddyserver.com to download a precompiled Caddy with plugins. Instead, you can download the source, compile it with plugins yourself, then distribute your own binary amongst all your hosts.
- romanovcode 9y agoYeah, I guess you're right. But then again setting up NGINX with auto SSL would be easier so what's the point. Personally for me Caddy is (was) good because of how easy it is to set it up.
- Whitestrake 9y agoI'm not sure I agree with you there. The most popular Docker image for Caddy, for example, should soon (if it's not already) be compiled from source, rather than from the build server. That means it will remain free to use, and I personally don't have to make a single change. If this has impacted you negatively to the point where setting up nginx is an easier option, well - that's the beauty of choice!
- tylersmith 9y agoBut the software in that image will still be written by untrustworthy adware developers. _That_ is the issue.
