Is the distinction here against Saša’s site_encrypt project that your hypothetical implementation would have zero external dependencies, not even certbot?

That is the idea. I wasn’t aware of Saša work, so I can check this out and review if I would be able to drop the Certbot dependency and implement ACME protocol directly.

FYI Caddy2 does not require any commercial license. It’s 100% open.
It’s a great software. Using it on multiple projects. I have never looked back at Nginx after moving to Caddy, even in its v1 times. v2 is on another level.

I’m currently using traefik for proxying domain names to services – traefik mostly because of it’s listening to changes on it’s config files automatically – with caddy behind only for the things, which need a webserver (php / static files). I guess with the caddy 2 I could move to have just caddy do both things.

This is already on the roadmap 
site_encrypt already includes a very basic ACME server (for local debugging and testing), and I’d like to see both the server being expanded and a native client developed. Sadly I can’t find the time for this, so if someone else wants to take a stab, feel free to ping me

I am using traefik, too. I like its Docker support – you can specify labels for Docker containers, then traefik will configure the proxy for them automatically.

With Caddy 2 you get ssl for free out of the box. Nothing to setup, it auto updates as well. It also has live updating, so you don’t have to restart the service to update the config. I have been using it for 3 months now and would recommend it.

This sounds very great. Please do you have any guide on setting it on Digitalocean vps with ubuntu 20.04 if possible?
I found this but it seems to be related to Caddy 1, since we need to rebuild it each time we add a plugin or upgrade it.
I have very little time to deploy an umbrella project with 3 web apps. I will be reading their official docs but if you have any quick guide, it would be really nice. ^^
