Caddy is an open-source web server that serves sites with HTTPS by default, automatically obtaining and renewing TLS certificates for all domains, including localhost and internal addresses. It features a native JSON configuration API (and a Caddyfile) and supports static files and reverse proxy, with on-demand TLS to scale certificate management across many sites. It also includes a built-in PKI suite for internal CAs and fleet-wide certificate coordination, aiming to simplify secure, reliable, and scalable hosting.
