Caddy automatically obtains and renews TLS certificates for all your sites.
Caddy's native configuration is a JSON document.
Even localhost and internal IPs are served with TLS using the intermediate of a fully-automated, self-managed CA that is automatically installed into most local trust stores.
Configure multiple Caddy instances with the same storage, and they will automatically coordinate certificate management as a fleet.

“Templates provide developers with access to the string and its interpolated values before they are combined. This brings native flexible string processing to the Python language and enables safety checks, web templating, domain-specific languages, and more.”
