A comment on Caddy – The HTTP/2 Web Server with Automatic HTTPS.

$25 a month is quite pricey for the edge case of someone starting up sites that will be commercial but unsure as to profitability yet. I guess I will build and donate $25 for the year. probably building is the smart thing to do anyway for a server you're getting for its security capabilities.

Agree. The $25/month stops me using it for side projects that generate small but non-zero revenue. Love the concept but not sure when I'll get to play time on something genuinely personal.

Can't you build it from source?

It does get quite complex when you need plugins.

I use the abiosoft Docker image and that has simplified it again.

I'm sure he can build it from source, but the "personal" license forbids using it for commercial purposes, so the point is moot.

Those licences are only for the binaries. The source is Apache licenced and can be used for commercial purposes for free.

The whole source is Apache-licensed, so there are no restrictions if you build & integrate it yourself.

The restrictive personal license applies to the official binaries.
