Now what happens when you have a colleague who logs into your droplet to configure the Caddy server. Have you distributed the binary to them? Are they entitled to seeing the original NOTICE file?

No. This is a simple case of someone else using software on your machine. Similarly, You aren't distributing "Windows" every-time someone logs into do remote tech support.
To tie back to the original comment:
> It is only when you decide to embed it in an on-premises version that you sell to customers (who run it on their infrastructure) does the disclosure requirement kick in.
In that situation, when dealing with an on-premises deployment with another person or organization, the end user is the counterparty. You are required to disclose to them, but they are not required to disclose to users of their web site.
Note: this type of scenario is why AGPL emerged in the first place.
