I’ve recently been wondering if Lemmy should switch out NGINX for Caddy, while I hadn’t had experience with Caddy it looks like a great & fast alternative, What do you all think?

EDIT: I meant beehaw not Lemmy as a whole

    I’m running a lot of services off my nginx reverse proxy. This is my general setup for each subdomain - each in its own config file. I wouldn’t consider this verbose in any way - and it’s never crashed on me

    service.conf

    server {
    listen       443 ssl http2;
    listen  [::]:443 ssl http2;
    server_name  [something].0x-ia.moe;

    include /etc/nginx/acl_local.conf;
    include /etc/nginx/default_settings.conf;
    include /etc/nginx/ssl_0x-ia.conf;

    location / {
        proxy_pass              http://[host]:[port]/;
    }
}

        The hidden configs are boilerplate which are easily imported for any applicable service. A set-once set of files isn’t what I would count towards being verbose. 90% of my services use the exact same format.

        If a certain service is complicated and needs more config in nginx, it’s going to be the same for caddy.

          I don’t know, I prefer it to be easier to set up my proxy especially when it comes to configs, each to their own I guess.
