    There are many projects doing the exact same thing. Here's one approach from myself, but haven't updated since 2019:

    https://github.com/philippgille/serve

    One difference is that it can create a TLS cert for you, instead of having to supply one via CLI arg.

    I don't recommend using it in its current form though due to its (the compiled binaries') Go version being outdated.

    I, too, would like to see this, but it'll be a lot of work. It's just not a top priority right now for me, unfortunately.

    This is something I could prioritize if a business wanted to sponsor this; but right now the most pressing things are updating the docs, revamping our test suite, and I have a few action items for existing sponsors I need to prioritize too.

    Anyway, no timeline -- but definitely something wanted!

    PS. There is kind of Caddyfile support here: https://github.com/RussellLuo/caddy-ext/tree/master/layer4
