What caddy is doing here? Documentation missing.

I was looking for updates in your repo and come across seeing caddy. What is caddy doing here. I could not find any documentation about caddy

[Zoey2936]

see here: https://github.com/ZoeyVid/nginx-proxy-manager/blob/develop/compose.override.yaml I use it to redirect all HTTP to HTTPS

[afzl-wtu]

Doesn't it slow down using two webserver in container? Network request first goes to caddy and then come to nginx.

[Zoey2936]

no, this is an optional thing, if you don't use the compose.override.yaml, caddy is at no place used

[Zoey2936]

by default everything is done using nginx, but the compose.override.yaml disabled http in nginx, so nginx only handels https and caddy will only do http to https redirects

I'm curious, why did you choose to do that?

[Zoey2936]

Thats is because in the past nginx didn't supported h2c (http2 on http), but caddy did

Thanks for your answer :) "in the past" means it does now?

[Zoey2936]

yes
