Caddy seems to good to be true? I just set it up and it works perfect, straight out of the box (alien.top)

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

The documentation it's surprisingly bad at explaining common patterns of use.

It is also a bit thicker compared to nginx or HAproxy.

Caddy maintainer here, which patterns are you confused about?

What do you mean by "thicker"? I don't think I agree but I'm not sure what you mean.
