Well, until you read https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39351026
And? (That isn't about Caddy, rather a third-party plugin.)
I'd love to get rid of the part of my clients' codebase that starts with // workaround for broken caddy servers

Lots of people are using haproxy
My org moved off nginx for haproxy after we learned that (at the time, maybe it changed) reloading an nginx config, even if done gracefully through kernel signals, would drop existing connections, where haproxy could handle it gracefully. That was a fun week of diving in to some C code looking for why it was behaving that way.
all that said, neither drops existing connections on reload
It is scary to think about how much of web relies on projects maintained by 1 or 2 people.
If 2 people are operating the plants, that’s terrifying.
I don't understand why some people use a Russian software! Especially in this age.
While I may share the general sentiment, there’s a freaking lot of “Russian software” out there which you may be knowingly or unknowingly use. There is JetBrains, for example. But there is also core-js which is a little polyfill library being used by like way more than half of high profile websites. Also written by a Russian national. If you excise all contributions by Russian nationals to PostgreSQL or the Linux ker…
Given this fork still boasts a 2-clause BSD license, the corporate nginx can still make the effort to backport patches. It's certainly harder than requiring a single converged development branch, but how closely they track Maxim's work is ultimately up to them. If nginx continues to receive more attention from security researchers, I imagine Maxim will have good reasons to backport fixes the other way too, or at leas…
- nginx is "open core", with some useful features in the proprietary version.
- angie (a fork by several core devs) has a CLA, which sounds like a bait and switch waiting to happen and distro's won't package it
- freenginx is at least open source. But who knows if it'll still be around by June.
I don't get it...does not he knows about angie [1]? It was created by NGINX core devs after F5 acquisition if I'm not mistaken and it's a drop-in replacement for NGINX. [1] https://github.com/webserver-llc/angie
This surely is the question. Why not Angie?

Could be related to the fact that Angie offers 'pro' version: https://wbsrv.ru/angie-pro/docs/en/ From statement: "Instead, I’m starting an alternative project, which is going to be run by developers, and not corporate entities"
Hm. I guess this consultancy-on-a-paid-version model doesn't bother me (and clearly didn't bother the developer of freenginx while they were paying him). But a double fork can't be good.
Clearly it did, so much so that he gave up all that pay.
