Caddy

Reverse proxy server with automatic HTTPS via Let's Encrypt. The easiest path to TLS on a self-hosted setup.

Caddy 2 is the reverse proxy of choice in 2026 for self-hosted AI deployments. A 5-line Caddyfile gives you HTTPS, certificate auto-renewal, gzip compression and reasonable defaults. Significantly less configuration than Nginx for the common case. Used as the recommended HTTPS frontend in our standard pocket-AI setup.
