Already hugged to death, rip

It was 2am when you checked, and as mentioned in the article the Pi was rebooting after an update :)

Curious how well Caddy would run on an RPi. Not sure if it would come out ahead of Apache in practice. It's been my goto choice for a few years.

If there is an arm image for it then it’ll run fine

It's written in go so should work fine.

I'm running a small Caddy + Rust (Actix Web) service on my Raspberry Pi 2B. Not the snappiest service ever but usable. Part of the slowness might also be the fact that it's online using Cloudflare Tunnels.

Yeah, the tunnel is probably at least half the overhead.

I really enjoyed this but at the same time find it completely perplexing - I can't place where the author is coming from - they are either really good at explaining things from the point of view of someone who knows almost nothing about this stuff or they genuinely started this without knowing most of it. I'm not sure which would be more impressive.

Neither is required to be true. Rather, this reads as a person who genuinely hopes for you to understand what they are attempting to teach you. Often times, technical documentation is written because the author desires to sound smart, not actually help you achieve whatever the topic at hand may be.
