I'm having a great time with Caddy. My whole Jupyter stack is reverse proxied to Caddy, and the Caddy config is a single line compared to the 100 line mess that they reccomend people use for Apache or nginx

(yes caddy takes care of upgrading your headers, websockets, certificates, all of it)

once you actually need to configure Caddy, it is an abomination beyond imagination — the docs, Caddyfile, JSON config — all of them lack coherence or sensible design

never touching it again

good defaults matter; nginx configs were very concise and readable in 2005-2015 when I was using it heavily; http/3, ws, acme — perhaps new tech is yet to be incorporated properly (and maybe it never will)

I genuinely haven't had a problem with it -- I use it for all my projects, and it's seamless at rewriting baseurls handling subdomains, proxies, all of it.
