Below are instructions on +configuring Caddy appropriately. Review comment: Since you're copying over the content from `src/best-practices/nginx.rst`, why not rename that file to `src/best-practices/reverse-proxy.rst` and just add Caddy below the Nginx section? I don't like the idea of having to maintain both of these files in the doc tree in case the haproxy.cfg file changes, or our feelings about HAProxy itself changes. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
