I’m already building a custom image of Caddy with plugins for Crowdsec integration. It’s not hard to do. But I have no reason to use anything other than the default Let’s Encrypt setup.

Everyone in here taking about an the automations they’ve done for certs and I just use Caddy. It handles all that for me.

You say. Confidently. With no receipts.

I have some similar things with old coolers. I love doing chuck roast or pork shoulder for 48 hours. So it’s nice to have something insulated with a lid.

I just recently went through a much more benign, but scary nonetheless version of this.

I realized that my Ansible directory, that I had made public on GitHub to share as an example to some folks, had secrets committed and pushed.

It was the direct URL and credentials of an app I developed to store non-PII customer data. Now, it wouldn’t be the end of the world if someone noticed this and scraped the data, but it wouldn’t be good, either.

Luckily, I have Caddy access logs, and it appears no one ever accessed it.

So I pulled the secrets out of the Ansible directory and made the repo private, I rotated the credentials, and installed Crowdsec to monitor Caddy access logs and ban bad actors.

I only noticed the secrets because I had just setup Authelia as an OAuth2 provider for my homelab, and I was adding it to my backup scripts.

I was devastated when Google Reader shut down. I switched to another service after that and it shut down not long after that. Maybe a year or so.

I would have paid for that service at the time.
