Caddy seems to good to be true? I just set it up and it works perfect, straight out of the box (alien.top)

This seems too straightforward, what's the catch?

Like how secure is it? Should I be turning it off (and disabling the port forwarding) when not using it?

Do I need any additional security? Mainly just want to use it for Jellyfin

Thanks

Used Caddy for years and after a week of Nginx Proxy Manager I never went back to Caddy.

Strange, I never quite got why ever would i want to swtich to NPM, tried it and never liked it...

I ssh in and edit my caddyfile faster than I go to npm web interface and click through menus. I actually can just copy paste caddyfile config and have backup of it, while I am not even sure if npm has any backup solution by now, or you just suppose to backup on docker level.

And it is kinda in the way, a gui layer if you wanna do something more..
