Is this an alternative to nginx or something?
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.
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".
As a note, Caddy is one of those tools which hits the 80-90% of functionality with 50% of the complexity.
For both my homelab and hobby projects it just works. Its configuration is sane and well documented.
I highly recommend giving it a try.
