I've just had a lot more success using Caddy when it comes to things that require mod rewrites and stuff on Nginx. I dont know what they've done differently on the back end but the compatibility with random types of web server software seems to play nicer. Also theres Certbot integration built in which is nice.

Makes sense, it seems like Caddy is like a Swiss army knife and nginx is now the whole Home Depot.

A decade ago or so nginx was the swiss army knife to Apache
