Caddy is an extensible HTTP server with automatic HTTPS enabled by default. Use it to serve a personal site, reverse-proxy an app, or host multiple domains from a single configuration. Start with the official install instructions and Caddyfile guide; downloads and builds are available for major platforms.

Practical note: public certificate issuance depends on reachable domain names and network configuration; binding to privileged ports may require OS-specific setup. No hands-on testing is claimed.
