Nginx for my intranet because configuration is fully manual and I have complete control over it.
Caddy for the public services on my vps because it handles cert renewal automatically and most of its configuration is magic which just works.
It is unbelievable how shorter caddy configuration is, but on my intranet:
I switched to caddy just for the certs. I get trusted certs on all my internal subdomains without maintenance.
I use haproxy, nginx and caddy at work including a caddy instance with internal CA. 4 lines in config and its signed by our normal CA, so its trusted by all our devices.
You can easily get automatic renewal for nginx using certbot.
Yes, but it is a different cron job that needs to run, and you need to monitor it for failures. Caddy does everything out of the box, including retries.
