Tell me more about Caddy vs Nginx. What are the biggest benefits? I honestly not exactly happy with nginx in some corner cases.

Bilal here, I’m working with Chris on v2.

Caddy providers benefits compared to Nginx, like

- Out of the box SSL certificates

- REST api for providing configuration

- A vibrant plugin ecosystem to extend traditional web server functionality

- Easier setup for load balancer

We are quite happy with the results so far.

Yes, I can def-ly see it is way better. Question here, as far as i understand Caddy is a paid product, how its licensing works while deploying on customers servers?

Caddy switched their license way back in 2019 making it completely open source and free to use

Caddy has always been open source, Apache licensed.

Is python/django support coming for v2?
