Just using caddy server seems a lot simpler...

+1 for Caddy. I was using NGINX a long time, and wrote some similar scripts to make certificates for my web apps. After I switched to Caddy I had a 6x smaller config file, no more ln -s, and HTTPS without every having to think about it!

Neat, I like that when started with no arguments/config it just serves the files in the current directory, but then you can customize it from there.

I have "alias webserver='python -m SimpleHTTPServer'" in my shell config, but I think I'll switch to Caddy.

For local development, consider looking into devd (https://github.com/cortesi/devd). It's a single binary that supports things like livereload, network throttling, routing, and reverse proxying.

Ooh, that looks pretty nice. I was using Caddy to serve the current directory, but this seems even nicer.

I'd never heard of Caddy, and it looks great! Thanks for giving me something to tinker with this weekend! :-)

Agreed, Caddy is great.

You do need to restart Caddy in order to renew your cert, FWIW

Not true - Caddy has always renewed certificates automatically, and the latest version (0.8.2) renews without restarting. Relevant change: https://github.com/mholt/caddy/commit/11103bd8d68ed9d8dcd2fc...
