Thanks for a great piece of software that I use every day in production and just works. At first I was scared of how stupid simple it is. It feels like web ser

  This is my experience as well. I've spent weekends trying to figure things out with Apache + Nginx + Let's Encrypt. Figured it out with Caddy within minutes. Really happy I found this software.

Curiously, new versions of Apache include mod_md, which lets you use Let's Encrypt for SSL, without the need for something like certbot: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_md.html https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_md.html I actually wrote about it in a blog post of mine, "How and why to use Apache httpd in 2022": https://blog.kronis.dev/tutorials/how-and-why-to-use-apache-httpd-in-2022 https://blog.kronis.dev/tutorials/how-and-why-to-use-apache-... That said, while the capability is there, things like the DNS-01 validation need additional work and Caddy comes with more sane defaults out of the box and arguably a way easier config format. It would also be really cool if Nginx came with its own implementation of ACME certificate provisioning out of the box, following the trend of other servers, but certbot is also perfectly passable. Either way, it seems like most of the "popular" web servers are viable for most use cases nowadays and I can say that Caddy definitely belongs in that list!
