## Useful for

- Serve an HTTPS site with automatic Let's Encrypt certificates and no manual TLS setup
- Configure a reverse proxy for multiple backends using the Caddyfile
- Change server configuration at runtime via the JSON API without restarting

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-02 (UTC), 00:10–23:07: 78629 → 78663 stars (+34). This is the change over that interval.
- About 8 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 5,235
- Issues and pull requests: 8,039
- Watchers: 870
- Average over the last week: 36 per day
- Usual pace: 60 per day
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 1
- Latest release: v2.11.7 (2026-10-03)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
