I use https://static-web-server.net/ Cross-platform, written in Rust, straightforward configuration, secure defaults, also has a hardened container image and a hardened NixOS module. I wouldn't recommend Caddy. Their official docker image runs as root by default [1], and they don't provide a properly sandboxed systemd unit file [2]. [1]: https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy-docker/issues/104 [2]: https://github.com/caddyserver/dist/blob/master/init/caddy.s... EDITED: phrasing
In Hunting for Nginx alias traversals in the wild
What I meant was using OCSP status (from stapling) to trigger reissuance on revocation. I don't think this can be done with nginx and certbot unless nginx makes its OCSP status available for the certbot client to read from, or having an event trigger in nginx somehow to get certbot to run. Either way, it's extra faff that you don't need to worry about with Caddy. > which can run on port 80/443 without iptables hacks Not sure what you mean. Do you mean that you need root to bind to those ports? In which case, you can give the process CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE which lets it. Caddy's systemd service does this, and runs as a non-root user: https://github.com/caddyserver/dist/blob/2ceb535e076ed9b3083...
