Looking to move from Caddy

Recently it’s come to my attention that Caddy has an AI sponsor so I have been looking at moving away from Caddy.

I’m currently looking for another reverse proxy to use in place of Caddy. For TLS I am looking into using CertBot and it appears there’s a module (github.com/desec-io/certbot-dns-desec) I can use that works for desec.io to handle my certs.

I have two questions, the first is about CertBot. Since Caddy is handling my certs automatically, how often would I want to renew my certs? Desec.io has this command to obtain a cert:

certbot certonly \
     --authenticator dns-desec \
     --dns-desec-credentials /etc/letsencrypt/secrets/$DOMAIN.ini \
     -d "$DOMAIN" \
     -d "*.$DOMAIN"

Would I be required to run the same command periodically to renew my cert?

My second question is a bit more open ended. I am looking to hear any suggestions or experiences about different reverse proxies that are preferably free of AI. There is a list here with some suggested alternatives: codeberg.org/ethical-foss/open-slopware#web-serve…

You can serve static pages by using the error page config line with monitor uri

listen static-file bind :80 monitor-uri / errorfile 200 /usr/local/etc/haproxy/errors/200.http

I also just use acme certbot (setup via puppet letsencrypt module) to do the certs and there’s a restart haproxy post script on cert update

I would argue that’s a bit of a perversion 😃 but on the other hand if it can serve my static page… I’ll have to reconsider HAProxy for my stuff. Thanks!

  Haha I get it, something something doing it because we could,… But never ask if we should. But it’s a fun trick with haproxys features, you could probably also do something with acls and or lua too if you wanted to be fancy
