I've recently been wondering if Lemmy should switch out NGINX for Caddy, while I hadn't had experience with Caddy it looks like a great & fast alternative, What do you all think?
EDIT: I meant beehaw not Lemmy as a whole
Why is nginx preferred over Apache these days? I believe nginx was originally preferred because Apache had scaling issues with its original forking concurrency model, but that was replaced a long time ago, so…why use nginx today?
That's why I'm entertaining the idea of an alternative in this post. Although it seems there are a lot of mixed opinions on this matter
It's just matter of preference, really. You can use any reverse proxy you want in your docker compose file. With Caddy, setting up letsencrypt is a lot easier than other webservers which might help setting up your own instance a bit easier.
yeah, that's a big upside. However, the third party Go based modules are the biggest draw for me.
