Is this an alternative to nginx or something?
- loloquwowndueo 1y agoIt’s an http server like Apache or nginx. A stand-out feature has been ACME support built-in, and it’s a fairly capable reverse proxy. I’ve seen organizations use Caddy to provision certificates for customer domains at scale with very good results.
- tom1337 1y agoIt is, but I've mostly came across Caddy as a traefik alternative.
- nodesocket 1y agoI still think for Kubernetes ingress controller, traefik is more optimized for this use-case than Caddy. However, sitting in front of containers or a standalone reverse proxy I exclusively use Caddy.
- danielheath 1y agoYes. Personally, I much prefer the way caddy does configuration / plugins (as someone reasonably conversant in how nginx does those things) - comparable to "sysv init scripts vs systemd unit files".
- o11c 1y agoI've never used caddy but "better config than nginx" is a pretty low bar.

- barnabee 1y agoEveryone I know has used Caddy by default for so long now that I'd describe Nginx as an alternative to Caddy, at this point.
