On: Caddy – The Ultimate Server with Automatic HTTPS

[geocrasher]

Last year a coworker mentioned Caddy, so I decided to set it up on a spare box just to see how well it worked with WordPress, PHP etc. It did okay. I didn't do any big tests with it but it seemed to work well enough, and was super simple to configure. It does seem quite niche however.

What issue/experience stop you from saying "it did great"?

Nothing in particular, it just did what it was supposed to do quite easily. I didn't have the opportunity to load test it and the small VM it was one would have been a bigger bottleneck, I think.

I have had "move our PHP infrastructure to FrankenPHP" on my todo list for the last year or two - it's Caddy combined with PHP in Go

I did exactly this for my startup (https://easy.green). I'm very happy with this setup so far, with the code embedding feature for on premise delivery. I had to disable the worker mode though, it caused issues with uncommon features in the ORM.

Yep I've used franken a few times it's the easiest php setup one could imagine

Is FrankenPHP stable? It looks good but quite new

Yes, stable and production ready
