Seconding Chris' work. I love having not to worry about DevOps for my Rails apps.

  Thanks for the support! Glad you've been enjoying Hatchbox. We're wrapping up v2 and can't wait to share it. Upgrading to Caddy for the web server has been wonderful.

    Tell me more about Caddy vs Nginx. What are the biggest benefits? I honestly not exactly happy with nginx in some corner cases.

      Bilal here, I’m working with Chris on v2. Caddy providers benefits compared to Nginx, like - Out of the box SSL certificates - REST api for providing configuration - A vibrant plugin ecosystem to extend traditional web server functionality - Easier setup for load balancer We are quite happy with the results so far.

        Yes, I can def-ly see it is way better. Question here, as far as i understand Caddy is a paid product, how its licensing works while deploying on customers servers?
        BilalBudhani 5y ago
        Caddy switched their license way back in 2019 making it completely open source and free to use https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/issues/2786 https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/issues/2786

        Caddy has always been open source, Apache licensed.

I would like to say that existence of Chris Oliver’s Hatchbox was initial inspiration and validation after finding which i decided to build Appliku. So, Thanks, Chris!!!

Hatchbox its an absolute lifesaver for my deployments... I cannot stress how helpful and well crafted it is... But every single day of my life I worry about what is going to happen to all my infrastructure if something were to happen to Chris/HB...
