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

Anyone know if Caddy would be a good pick for a reverse proxy on a public subnet to distribute traffic to a bunch of subdomains in low traffic settings? I figure it could be a single source for all HTTPS stuff in my stack.

Or is it really just for like single applications running through Docker? Sorry, I haven’t played with it too much.

Yes, it excels at that usecase. Caddy will automatically set up and manage certificates for each subdomain.
