This seems too straightforward, what's the catch?

Like how secure is it? Should I be turning it off (and disabling the port forwarding) when not using it?

Do I need any additional security? Mainly just want to use it for Jellyfin

Thanks

Caddy is very basic, and thats why it works so easily. There is nothing wrong with it.

However it lacks some features that other reverse proxies offer. But if you dont need any of those, use Caddy.

Additional security? Not directly. But fail2ban and CrowdSec are easily set up too. And Caddy also combines very well with Authelia for authentication.

I'm wondering what those features are? What are the top 2 features you use most that are missing in Caddy? I used to go to nginx by default, but I switched to Caddy recently and I'm wondering what hurdles I'm setting up for myself.
