> - Caddy plugins mean I have to download xcaddy and rebuild the server. I really do not want to rebuild services on my servers just because I need a simple layer 4 reverse proxy (e.g. so that I can terminate TLS connections in front of my IRC server).
I mean, you don't havse to "rebuild services" -- if you need the plugin, just deploy the binary with the plugin. It's not like it changes (other than upgrades, which you'd do regardless of the plugin).
If the plugin is downloadable from caddy's site, it can also be updated in place along with the caddy binary. (There's an option to keep the same plugins)
