Caddy is OK, easy to setup on a personal machine, but nginx's performance trumped it completely in our testing. Particularly when requesting large numbers of files concurrently.
I genuinely don't know why a business would use Caddy over nginx, especially given the new commercial licensing scheme. nginx really isn't that hard to setup.
- sfifs 9y agoRunning Caddy is literally copying a binary and your site over and setting up the systemd config. LetsEncrypt works automagically out of the box.
- rlonstein 9y ago> LetsEncrypt works automagically out of the box Provided you let Caddy manage all the certs and/or permit dynamic dns updates on that host. Went through this last night and it's underdocumented when you want to handle it yourself with TXT records and explicit cert/key.
- mholt 9y agoThe business use case isn't just about performance; businesses also get private plugin hosting, basic email support, and in the future, other amenities as well. We'll be optimizing Caddy more over time. You can also use the http.cache plugin to help with performance: https://caddyserver.com/docs/http.cache https://caddyserver.com/docs/http.cache
