Yeah, if you're looking for a package, you'll want to stick to the Cloudsmith .deb since it's bound to Caddy's GitHub release workflow so guaranteed to stay up-to-date: https://cloudsmith.io/~caddy/repos/stable/packages/

P.S., from the guidelines:

That's correct. See https://caddyserver.com/docs/install for our recommended installation methods. Only the .deb via Cloudsmith is fully automated, every other method requires some humans to publish the release, for a variety of reasons.

Pulling packages from sources outside of your distribution is very risky for security, availability and even legal compliance.

No thanks.
