Caddy Web Server is an open-source web server designed for simplicity and performance. Known for its automatic HTTPS feature, Caddy automatically provisions and renews SSL/TLS certificates, ensuring secure connections with minimal configuration. This makes it particularly user-friendly for developers and system administrators looking to deploy websites or web applications quickly and securely.

Features of Caddy Web Server:

  • Automatic HTTPS: Caddy automatically handles the issuance and renewal of SSL certificates using Let's Encrypt, providing secure HTTPS connections by default without manual intervention.
  • Simple Configuration: Caddy uses a straightforward, human-readable configuration file, making it easy to set up and manage compared to traditional web servers.
  • Reverse Proxy: Caddy can act as a reverse proxy, enabling the distribution of requests to multiple backend servers, load balancing, and handling complex routing.
  • Extensible with Middleware: Caddy supports a wide range of middleware, allowing users to add functionalities such as authentication, rate limiting, and more, enhancing the server's capabilities.
  • Support for Multiple Protocols: In addition to HTTP/HTTPS, Caddy supports other protocols such as HTTP/2 and QUIC, optimizing performance and user experience.
  • Cross-Platform Compatibility: Caddy runs on various operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it versatile for different environments.
  • Community and Ecosystem: Caddy has a growing community and an ecosystem of plugins, enabling additional features and integrations to meet diverse needs.
