I didn't notice that you can compile the source code yourself to avoid paying for the license. That seems to be a nice alternative.

  Only if you're not using it for commercial stuff. If you're using it for commercial stuff you have to pay the $25/month

    The code is released under the Apache License. You're free to compile the source code and use it commercially. You're not allowed to do that with the official binaries.

    My understanding of their license page is different. "If your company uses official Caddy binaries internally, in production, or distributes Caddy, a commercial license is required." "If I build Caddy from source, which license applies?" "The source code is Apache 2.0 licensed." https://caddyserver.com/products/licenses https://caddyserver.com/products/licenses

      Would be interested to see how reproducible builds would interact in such a situation. I.e. you get a byte-identical binary file if you build it yourself, but you don't have to pay the $25/mo. Even though you end up at exactly the same place. Something like http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/entry/23 http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/entry/23 "What colour are your bits?" I suppose.
