'Yesterday, the Caddy Web server reached an important milestone, with its 2.0.0 release. Caddy bills itself as "The Ultimate Server," with no dependencies, automatic TLS certificate obtainment and renewal, and much smaller configuration files than Apache or Nginx.

Thanks Peter! I changed to Caddy from Nginx a few weeks ago. It was astonishingly easy, particularly as my site is entirely static (via Pelican https://www.getpelican.com/).

If anyone wants to read about my experience, I wrote about it here: https://www.ericlight.com/moving-to-the-caddy-web-server.html

Senior Technology Editor Lee Hutchinson expressed both curiosity about Caddy and his own personal inertia in the Ars slack:

Caddy is an app where every time i see it or think of it i say “I should mess with it, it looks neat” and then I never do. I’ve gotten so enmeshed in my haproxy - varnish - nginx stack that breaking out feels like more trouble than it’s worth.

I hadn't ever heard of Caddy until Lee mentioned it, but I know a call to action when I hear one.'
