Ok I'll bite again.

Do you want a caddy service embedded with every web app you self host or are you running a single one serving all your apps?

From my understanding if you want acme http challenges to just work with let's encrypt you probably need to use a single, separated caddy to front all your apps.

In that case if I ship a caddy service pre configured to do TLS termination with my app it's just more trouble for you no?

Fair enough, http is enough - I anyways have one caddy to rule them all. However, if your app is picky about reverse proxying, e.g. headers, please add a sample caddy config. It's often the first thing I'm looking for if I'm trying out a tool and want to host it under a subdirectory before configuring a subdomain.

No, HTTP is not enough, I submitted a couple HTTP-only links to HN lately, they got flagged within half an hour, even HN crowd can not open HTTP links anymore ;-)

That's not really HN's fault but all modern browsers will warn the user before accessing an http site with a security warning.

My point was not to use http only as a finished solution, but to let the admin front the http-only service with their TLS termination solution of choice.

I posted this in a sibling thread, but it's also appropriate here.

I self-host Immich with Caddy, and it's complex, really.

Caddy runs in podman compose next to Immich, there are firewall rules to allow traffic in and out and proper dependencies in custom systemd units in case podman networking goes bust after firewall rules are reloaded and a readme that covers all that.

Exactly the point OP is making.

Just provide a docker compose file.
