I'm lovin' Caddy! Below is a typical reverse proxy + www redirect + static file serving. It's so much more readable and simple than Apache/Nginx that I can't imagine switching back.

  www.example.com {
    redir https://example.com{uri}
  }

  example.com {

    # tell Caddy where your favicon files are
    @favicon {
      path /favicon.ico
      # + other favicon files...
      # ...
      # ...
    }

    # serve your static files
    route /static/*  {
      root * /var/cache/example.com
      header Cache-Control max-age=31536000 # 1 year
      file_server
    }

    # serve your favicon files from your favicon route
    route @favicon {
      root * /var/cache/example.com/favicons
      file_server
    }

    encode zstd gzip

    # reverse proxy to your app
    reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:8080

    # do some logging
    log {
      format json
      output file /var/log/caddy/example.com/access.log {
        roll_size   100MiB
        roll_keep   10
        roll_keep_for 2160h # 90 days
      }
    }
  }
