This is the development branch for Caddy 2. This code (version 2) is not yet feature-complete or production-ready, but is already being used in production, and we encourage you to deploy it today on sites that are not very visible or important so that it can obtain crucial experience in the field.
Please file issues to propose new features and report bugs, and after the bug or feature has been discussed, submit a pull request! We need your help to build this web server into what you want it to be. (Caddy 2 issues and pull requests will usually receive priority over Caddy 1 issues and pull requests.)

## List of Improvements
The following is a non-comprehensive list of significant improvements over Caddy 1. Not everything in this list is finished yet, but they will be finished or at least will be possible with Caddy 2 or Caddy Enterprise:
The following is a non-comprehensive list of significant improvements over Caddy 1. Not everything in this list is finished yet, but they will be finished or at least will be possible with Caddy 2:
- Centralized configuration. No more disparate use of environment variables, config files (potentially multiple!), CLI flags, etc.
- REST API. Control Caddy with HTTP requests to an administration endpoint. Changes are applied immediately and efficiently.
- Dynamic configuration. Any and all specific config values can be modified directly through the admin API with a REST endpoint.
- Enterprise: Change only specific configuration settings instead of needing to specify the whole config each time. This makes it safe and easy to change Caddy's config with manually-crafted curl commands, for example.

- No configuration files. Except optionally to bootstrap its configuration at startup. You can still use config files if you wish, and we expect that most people will.
- Enterprise: Export the current Caddy configuration with an API GET request.
- Export the current Caddy configuration with an API GET request.
- Silky-smooth graceful reloads. Update the configuration up to dozens of times per second with no dropped requests and very little memory cost. Our unique graceful reload technology is lighter and faster **and works on all platforms, including Windows**.
- An embedded scripting language! Caddy2 has native Starlark integration. Do things you never thought possible with higher performance than Lua, JavaScript, and other VMs. Starlark is expressive, familiar (dialect of Python), _almost_ Turing-complete, and highly efficient. (We're still improving performance here.)

### What will Caddy 2 be licensed as?
### What is Caddy 2 licensed as?
Caddy 2 is licensed under the Apache 2.0 open source license. There are no official Caddy 2 distributions that are proprietary.
### What is Caddy Enterprise?
Caddy Enterprise is a collection of plugins for Caddy 2 which provide features and performance that are crucial in business settings. Caddy Enterprise is not a separate web server and does not even use a separate code base from Caddy 2; it is not even a separate branch that merges the open source core in every once in a while. In other words, open source users aren't missing out on a "better" web server, but Enterprise provides features that are used by businesses.
Caddy Enterprise is for businesses that need more advanced features for higher scalability and easier management of clusters. It includes:
- a web UI
- performance improvements within a cluster
- advanced TLS controls
- fine-grained config changes (i.e. ability to change only certain parts of the configuration)
- training and support
- advanced HTTP handlers for authentication, metrics, debugging, and more
- dynamic HTTP handlers and TLS handshakes with Starlark
Caddy Enterprise can be customized for each customer according to their needs.
Caddy 2 and Caddy Enterprise offer equal levels of security and, as mentioned, share the same open source code base.
### Does Caddy 2 have telemetry?
No. There was not enough academic interest to continue supporting it. If telemetry does get added later, it will not be on by default or will be vastly reduced in its scope.

## How do I avoid Let's Encrypt rate limits with Caddy 2?
As you are testing and developing with Caddy 2, you may wish to use test ("staging") certificates from Let's Encrypt to avoid rate limits. By default, Caddy 2 uses Let's Encrypt's production endpoint to get real certificates for your domains, but their [rate limits](https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/) forbid testing and development use of this endpoint for good reasons. You can switch to their [staging endpoint](https://letsencrypt.org/docs/staging-environment/) by adding the staging CA to your automation policy in the `tls` app:

## Can we get some access controls on the admin endpoint?
Yeah, that's coming. For now, you can use a unix socket that is properly permissioned for some basic security.
