I got caught in the hype and switched to caddy. After a year I'm now back with nginx and happier than ever.
I understand that one can probably methodologically master caddy, but from the perspective of someone who has been running web servers for decades and just needs to get things done, my god, caddy has the worst documentation of any product I've ever seen, and the most confusing configuration I can possibly imagine.
Confusion over v1/v2/json/yaml formats, documentation showing tiny snippets without telling how where they fit, etc. Not even ChatGPT4 can write caddy configuration.
For a long time I thought that my caddy config was blocking all IPs except the ones I listed. Turns out that no. The shit I wrote did nothing.
TLDR: Don't fall for the hype. Nginx is excellent.
- francislavoie 3y agoI greatly disagree regarding our docs. Typically the problem is you haven't read https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/concepts https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/concepts first which is required to understand where things go. If you're confused, you should ask us for help. Don't just let frustrations simmer. Ask a question on our forums https://caddy.community https://caddy.community.
