Tag: nginx

  • I'm pretty impressed with running WordPress on Caddy so far.

    It took a little jiggerypokery to configure it with an equivalent of the Nginx configuration I use for DanQ.me. But off the back of it I get the capability for HTTP/3, 103 Early Hints, and built-in "batteries included" infrastructure for things like certificate renewal and log rotation.
