Caddy seems to good to be true? I just set it up and it works perfect, straight out of the box (alien.top)

This seems too straightforward, what's the catch?

Like how secure is it? Should I be turning it off (and disabling the port forwarding) when not using it?

Do I need any additional security? Mainly just want to use it for Jellyfin

Thanks

How do you compare Caddy with nginx proxy manager?

[–] Do_TheEvolution@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

npm is nice for people who want easy web gui to configure stuff

caddy makes me feel more in control, its easier to backup too, since its all in one easy and readable config, and probably has more features as you go with your needs

There is also not that layer of which developer fucked up that you get when projects are projects of projects...

Id say npm is 10x better than caddy
