This seems too straightforward, what’s the catch?

Like how secure is it? Should I be turning it off (and disabling the port forwarding) when not using it?

Do I need any additional security? Mainly just want to use it for Jellyfin

Thanks

    😬 Well, that’s not helpful. Without specific feedback, there’s nothing we can do to improve the docs. It’s exhausting to read vague complaints about the docs, because it’s 90% of the feedback we get.

    But yes, please do reach out (open a GitHub issue, comment on the forums etc) if you do notice something that doesn’t meet your expectations in the docs.

      What I think they meant is more “how to achieve X or Y” focused documentation, rather than just explaining how features A or B work. The former approach explains what you should use and how to do it, the latter only documents what each variable does.

      To use an analogy: I could probably build a bicycle from the individual parts based on a tutorial with that goal in mind, but not based on the individual technical descriptions of each part.

      /u/xkcd__386 is that what you meant?

        I understand what they meant, but it’s broad/vague, and not specific/actionable.

        We do have a tutorials section in the docs, and we have the https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/patterns page which are that.

        Our question is how are those lacking? Just saying “more please” doesn’t help because we don’t know what the need is. We can’t imagine every single possible usecase, because it’s actually infinite. Caddy is a “general purpose webserver” which means “it can do just about anything”.

        Help us by telling us what specifically what usecase is important to you. We don’t have telemetry, we need users to tell us.
