When I had first heard of Caddy, I was experimenting with Traefik to replace an nginx setup I had for a long time.

Traefik had good potential and momentum at the time. And then Caddy started to gain some momentum too. After that there was a brief moment Caddy made the mistake of taking an ad and including it in the `Server` response header and making it be an opt-out feature. Once that was walked back and the dust has settled, Caddy kept gaining more and more momentum and exposure.

Traefik had a web panel that I thought was cool back then but it tried to be too tightly coupled with containers and insisted on making service discovery be an essential core component of its configuration model.

At least this is what I remember. At this point I am very happy with caddy and it is what I use pretty much on all my services.

Thank you mholt for such a nice project and sorry for being overly critical of the ad in the Server response header very many years ago. :)

Glad they removed it. Caddy is a great piece of software.
