Caddy
A modern open-source web server written in Go, supporting HTTP/1, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3 protocols. Its core feature is a built-in ACME protocol client that automates TLS certificate issuance and renewal. Caddy employs a modular plugin architecture and deploys as a single static binary.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Through reverse proxies such as Nginx or Caddy, the request frequency of a single IP or IP range can be limited, directly returning a 429 status code when the threshold is exceeded.
Caddy's path directive uses exact matching, and non-matching paths fall through to the fallback block.
Caddy's handle blocks execute in the order written, the first match takes effect, and blocks without a matcher execute last.
Caddy's matcher rules require that different match types within the same named matcher must all be satisfied simultaneously (an AND relationship).
A production-grade n8n deployment can be broken down into four key components: Docker Compose, a Postgres connection pool, a Caddy reverse proxy, and automatic SSL renewal.
Setting up a reverse proxy with HTTPS using Caddy typically requires only 3–5 lines of configuration, whereas an equivalent Nginx configuration often requires dozens of lines along with Certbot scripts.
To access n8n via a domain name, it is typically necessary to configure a reverse proxy (such as Nginx or Caddy) and obtain a free SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt.
Caddy has a built-in ACME protocol client that can directly interface with free certificate authorities such as Let's Encrypt or ZeroSSL to automatically handle certificate issuance, installation, and renewal.
Caddy is a modern open-source web server written in Go that supports HTTP/1, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3 protocols and features automatic HTTPS functionality.
Caddy has accumulated over 76,000 Stars on GitHub, with more than 5,000 forks, and gains approximately 358 Stars per week.

50%UnverifiedCaddy has built-in reverse proxy functionality and is commonly used as a microservices entry point.
50%UnverifiedGo's compiled output is a static binary that does not depend on an external runtime, allowing Caddy to be deployed by simply downloading a single executable file.
50%UnverifiedCaddy adopts a modular architecture that allows developers to extend functionality by writing plugins, such as custom reverse proxy logic, authentication mechanisms, or storage backends.
50%UnverifiedNginx still holds an advantage over Caddy in ultra-large-scale, extreme-performance-tuning scenarios, and its configuration ecosystem is also more mature.
50%UnverifiedFor most projects seeking speed, security, and low maintenance overhead, Caddy typically offers a higher cost-effectiveness and ease of use.

50%UnverifiedCaddy automatically initiates a renewal request typically 30 days before a certificate expires.
50%UnverifiedWhen Nextcloud is deployed behind a reverse proxy (such as Nginx or Caddy), the source IP that Nextcloud directly sees is the proxy server's address, and the real client IP is forwarded by the proxy via HTTP headers such as X-Forwarded-For or X-Real-IP
50%UnverifiedFor users running servers such as Caddy or Nginx, usually just a few lines of configuration are needed to serve the security.txt file publicly.
50%UnverifiedBoth RSA and ECC dual certificates can be configured simultaneously at the reverse proxy layer (e.g., Nginx, Traefik, Caddy), with automatic negotiation during the TLS handshake.
