Caddy Server Setup

Caddy is a modern web server that provides automatic HTTPS out of the box — no certbot scripts, no manual certificate renewal. Write a 5-line Caddyfile and you have a production-grade reverse proxy with TLS 1.3, HTTP/2, OCSP stapling, and automatic certificate management. We configure Caddy for production workloads with proper reverse proxying, load balancing, and security.

Start a Brief

What We Deliver

A production-ready Caddy configuration with automatic HTTPS via Let's Encrypt (or ZeroSSL), reverse proxy to your application backends, load balancing with health checks, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 support, request matchers for complex routing, rate limiting, logging, and Docker or systemd deployment with configuration management.

Why Caddy

Caddy's killer feature is automatic HTTPS — it provisions and renews TLS certificates with zero configuration. No certbot cron jobs, no certificate expiry scares. For teams that value simplicity, Caddy's configuration is dramatically more readable than Nginx. It's written in Go, so it's a single binary with no dependencies. For most web applications, Caddy is the right choice over Nginx.

Reverse Proxy & Load Balancing

Caddy's reverse proxy supports HTTP, WebSocket, and gRPC backends. Load balancing uses round-robin, random, least connections, IP hash, or first-available policies. Active health checks detect backend failures. Passive health checks circuit-break on error patterns. Header manipulation, path stripping, and request rewriting are configured declaratively.

Advanced Configuration

Named matchers route requests based on path, headers, protocol, or remote IP. Handle directives chain middleware in predictable order. On-demand TLS provisions certificates at request time for wildcard or multi-tenant setups. Caddy's JSON API enables programmatic configuration changes without restarts. Plugins extend functionality for authentication, caching, and WAF capabilities.

Docker & Automation

Caddy runs as a Docker container with the Caddyfile mounted as a volume. For Docker Compose setups, caddy-docker-proxy auto-configures reverse proxy entries from Docker labels — add a container with a label and Caddy automatically routes traffic to it with TLS. For Kubernetes, Caddy Ingress Controller provides Caddy-native ingress handling.
