  • Caddy

    Fast and extensible multi-platform HTTP/1-2-3 web server with automatic HTTPS

    • I'm an amateur blogger and programmer, running a custom-made static site on a Linode VM with Caddy [1]. I don't use containers or CDNs or anything fancy; my site generator just spits HTML into a folder and I rsync it to the server.

    Do I need anything more than this? Is there some modern technology that is demonstrably better than my workflow? I worry I've been left behind, but I also find containers and other modern obsessions to be overkill for my needs.

    Thanks for any and all advice.
