Caddy is my web server of choice but it doesn’t have a UI like NPM.

My config is so barebones it doesn’t need a UI.
But when I started out, a UI would’ve been amazing

I’m an old school nginx pro. So I keep using nginx for reverse proxies because it’s what I know. What does caddy have to offer (or traefik is anyone wants to jump in)? Are they just optimized for this function and more modern?

Configuration is much easier, e.g. this is the full config you need to expose nextcloud on
nextcloud.example.com
(assuming caddy can reach nextcloud using the hostnamenextcloud
)nextcloud.example.com { reverse_proxy nextcloud }
Comparing that to ngnix configs that need a template for each different service (although to be fair they’re mostly the same).

Caddy config (“Caddyfile”) is super easy to configure. In some cases it can be just one line to reverse proxy something. Search for a caddyfile example and you’ll see.

I've just had a lot more success using Caddy when it comes to things that require mod rewrites and stuff on Nginx. I dont know what they've done differently on the back end but the compatibility with random types of web server software seems to play nicer. Also theres Certbot integration built in which is nice.

I was also used to npm. But caddy(file) is much cleaner and nicer and less hassle. It can be more difficult to set up because you may have to learn some things as it has no ui

I have trauma with the other one.

Hold off on this one if you use the official docker container.
This update has some broken dependencies the prevent it from starting correctly.
