For starting off I was trying to decide what web server we should use. In the past I have used Nginx, but recently I have been playing around with Caddy. The nice thing about Caddy is when you build the Caddyfile if you use a url instead of a port Caddy will automatically pull a Letsencrypt Cert and manages cert renewal for you.

I will post a directory with the docker-compose file I am running as a test server and the initial site files I have mocked up so far under Mock-Files.

I haven't used Caddy before, but I think it could be interesting to try out! It seems pretty easy to setup.

I am open to use something else, I was just testing it out myself. I know @ghostnomadjr you have used nginx and loaded your own certs.
