Caddy Has a Free Web Server with Automatic HTTPS — Zero-Config SSL for Every Site

A developer spent 2 hours setting up Let's Encrypt with certbot and Nginx. Then the certificate expired 3 months later because the cron job was wrong. Caddy is a web server that automatically provisions and renews HTTPS certificates. No certbot, no cron jobs, no manual renewal. Just works. What Caddy Offers for Free Automatic HTTPS - Provisions and renews Let's Encrypt certs automatically Simple Config - Caddyfile syntax is human-readable Reverse Proxy - Route to backend services with one line Load Balancing - Built-in load balancing HTTP/3 - Supports QUIC protocol On-Demand TLS - Get certs for new domains on first request API - Full REST API for dynamic configuration Quick Start # Caddyfile example . com { reverse_proxy localhost : 3000 } # That is it.
