You use Caddy for local development? How come, I have never used it for local dev

  To make it as close to production without all the hassle. - Autoprovison SSL - Serve static files without another web server - Rewrites, redirects, map HMR, websocket ports etc Sure nginx works too but Caddy is definitely less work and less hassle

    Cool, but how do you provision SSL locally if you're behind a NAT? For the serving static files/rewrites I usually try to do it in my own code so I don't have to deal with extra configs. Of course, this is a bit slow but locally it's fine :)

Some workplaces / offices I've been to also don't have them. > I usually try to do it in my own code I gets a lot harder when you have multiple services and/or if you mean you've just written your own reverse proxy then I'd prefer learning the configs.

        Writing my own, ah no :D just setting up my local env to serve static files. Flask, Node, Go, DJango supports it out of the box. Though, they're extremely slow in most cases. Then in production I just override the url with Caddyserver. Pretty neat :)
