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

I would like to jump over to it. I have been struggling with Nginx and Apache and I am afraid I have made a mess of things. I am installing on an old Mac Mini with Mac OS so I don't really have a way to isolate and remove Nginx and Apache and I have a feeling if I try Caddy I will get some interferences.
