Their filebrowser (originally part of caddy, since split out)[1] is a pretty nice tool for serving web-based browser of your NAS files.

I'm also a huge fan of Caddy's "handle" and "handle_path" directives for their simplicity.

One thing I will say against it though is that it does seem to run a little hotter than Nginx on my Pi4. Just random spikes here and there, whereas Nginx barely used to blip.

I've been using this for years but never knew it was a spin-off from Caddy. I really like it!
Technically it was shipped as a plugin for Caddy back then, it wasn't actually part of Caddy proper. Now they ship it standalone and recommend to reverse proxy to it. IMO it would be nice to still have the ability to include it as a Caddy plugin, but alas.
Yeah! Henrique Dias did great work with it. He should be very proud of his project.
