I was hired by Ardan Labs last year to develop Caddy 2. Ardan is still the exclusive partner for business/enterprise support (which I recommend for companies using Caddy). I now work on Caddy full-time through support from apilayer (th

For a really interesting, semi-true story about a Japanese warplane engineer in WWII, I highly recommend watching *The Wind Rises&. Probably one of Miyazaki's finest works (although that's just my opinion). It gives you some s

You're right. But, leaner binaries are a good sign of a mature compiler & linker.

Why? It's normal for builds to fail between releases. And (warning: controversial opinion inbound) code coverage is hardly a useful metric -- one can write a single test case that gets 100% coverage, but doesn't test anything; wha

This is the same problem we've had with Certificate Transparency. In grad school we looked at integrating CT monitors into web servers that manage certificates for your sites (including monitoring lookalike or spoofy names), but then w

Fingerprint unlock never worked for me (on any of my devices) because as a rock climber my fingerprints rub off. For about 2 years I could never get any fingerprint readers to work for more than a few days. So I had to get a Pixel 4 becaus

I just lament the increasing deployments of programs written in memory-unsafe languages to the edge, in general. I am more curious what makes the author think Caddy "might not be the best choice for a general purpose ingress/egres

Several companies use Caddy for exactly this purpose. Fathom Analytics for example uses it for their custom domains feature. Caddy can even reactively provision certs during TLS handshakes. It's a native feature. Why does it require lo

It is a great choice for a general purpose proxy. (That's kind of the point.)

Fun fact: you can use Caddy to manage certificates independently of its web server, with just a few lines of config: https://caddy.community/t/using-caddy-to-keep-certificates-r... This approach is more reliable than c

Caddy is good for enterprise use too because of its configurable, pluggable storage backends (doesn't have to be a file system). You can achieve the permission segmenting your company requires. You can also use it as a certificate mana

Anyone looking to automate certificate management at any sort of scale should read this: https://docs.https.dev/acme-ops ... and use Caddy to do the heavy lifting. (I'm biased, yes. But the linked doc is multi-authored

You can have the best of both worlds; since this project is written in Go, it can easily be made into a Caddy module that takes care of the mDNS part, without having to overlap other functionality. Docs: https://caddyserver.com&#
