Will there be more to learn from nginx or will it be about the same learned, just a different server? Side Question: if you think Caddy is better, do you think there would be much value in learning to use nginx anyways? Of course, I would end up knowing how to use nginx, but I found that I learned a lot on general about the web and web servers from playing with Caddy. I know this question is a bit too general, but I just would like to hear opinions from people who used them (especially those who used both), how do you think Nginx and Caddy compare? I'd be willing to hear about other similar fools. I am using it on a raspberry pi currently to host things like NextCloud, miniflux, bitwarden_rs, etc.

But I would like to hear others' perspectives on the matter, as I am a beginner after all. It seems more inline with FOSS philosophy, which makes me more willing to support it.

I don't think Caddy has something like this, as it provides some nginx plus features for free. I don't feel very good about this, as it seems like this means nginx might suppress some features in the free version to convince people to use nginx plus. Not very sure about this one, but nginx offers a non-free "plus" version. Though, arguably, the performance difference isn't significant. Benchmarks are sometimes misleading, but it is clear nginx comes on top at least for now.

Caddy has a very small community and much harder to find help.
