  3. lua-nginx-module

    Embed the Power of Lua into NGINX HTTP servers

  4. ngx-rust

    Rust binding for NGINX

  5. ngx_wasm_module

    Nginx + WebAssembly

    Proxy WASM appears to be supported thanks to a project from Kong: https://github.com/Kong/ngx_wasm_module

    I haven't tried it yet, but it looks promising.

  6. njs-acme

    Nginx NJS module runtime to work with ACME providers like Let's Encrypt for automated no-reload TLS certificate issue/renewal.

    Regarding #1, NGINX has created a project to make ACME integration easier. It is quite new, so I doubt it will replace your use of Caddy, but it is worth consideration.

  7. caddy-docker-proxy

    Caddy as a reverse proxy for Docker

    I disagree, Caddy works great in Docker. See https://caddyserver.com/docs/running#docker-compose, and CDP is a project that autoconfigures Caddy from labels https://github.com/lucaslorentz/caddy-docker-proxy. Regarding plugins, it's super simple to write a Dockerfile to add plugins, we ship a builder image variant that can be used to compile in any plugins you want.
