Title: Bravo Caddy in opnsense
Post by: bucky2780 on January 08, 2025, 01:42:01 AM
Just wanted to give a big high five to the caddy team for integrating their solution neatly into opnSense.
I revisited caddy about a year ago... and settled on haProxy instead, since caddy implementation on opnsense was quite immature at the time. haProxy comes with some complexity and reluctantly used that it for the last 12 months.

What a difference a year makes....

I revisited caddy yesterday, and got my whole reverse proxy up in a couple of hours. Integration with core opnsense was much better than I first envisioned. I really like how caddy leverages the trust store in opnsense should you choose to go that way (i did).

I found the doco incredibly clear, concise and super relevant for what I was trying to achieve...

I can see that is capable of doing way more than reverse proxying... and good to know. I may have some use for layer 4, or perhaps simple web hosting... in the future.
