Caddy, TLS, and DNS-01

Active since 2025-06

Moving from self-signed certs to trusted, human-friendly URLs.

Caddy TLS DNS-01 Cloudflare

Overview

This project focuses on replacing local IPs and self-signed certificates with proper DNS names and trusted certificates.

What I built

  • DNS naming model for internal services
  • DNS-01 automation for certificate issuance
  • Reverse proxy patterns for service exposure

Why it matters

Trusted URLs reduce friction, improve security signals, and make systems easier to use.
