I asked about Caddy a couple months ago here… We finished a migration from Nginx to Caddy for hosted static blogs on Micro.blog (still using Nginx to front-end the web app). Highly recommend Caddy if anyone is looking for a nicer HTTPS solution.

Doing a 403 redirect for HTTP is pretty nasty.

HTTP+HTTPS is great. HTTPS only isn't.
#

I can imagine caddy's TLS support for auto generating things makes it a lot easier for maintaining
#
[manton]
I’ve come to terms with browsers essentially requiring HTTPS. I don’t love it, but it’s not worth fighting for me.
#
[manton]
Interestingly, Caddy does 308 redirects by default for HTTP → HTTPS.
#
superkuh
Oh. I guess I just assumed re: 403. Didn't actually look.
#
superkuh
Er, 304.

oh dang a 308? wow

TIL about 308 🤔
#
[schmarty]
ah, there's a semantic difference. 301/302 allow the user-agent to switch from POST to GET. 307/308 explicitly disallow that.

https://http.cat/308 makes a lot of sense - any thoughts on why not https://http.cat/301 ?
#
jamietanna
manton glad you like Caddy :)
#
jamietanna
is there anything cool you've learned / how you went about the process that may be worth blogging about
#
[manton]
Oh yeah, learned a lot and I’m still learning… I’ll have to figure out what would be useful for other folks.
#
[manton]
Probably the most interesting thing is getting Caddy to use a Redis server as shared storage for SSL certs. I never had a good solution for that with my old Nginx-based setup.
#
jamietanna
ooh that's very cool!
