Could someone just share JSON schema files?

From the user point of view, it makes for a bad UX for newbies who don’t know Caddy very well yet. For example, I was trying to use the default Docker container without extra build steps that install any plugins. Now in order to produce a JSON schema I’m suggested to install plugins - does not sound appealing. What’s more, I’ll have to maintain two docker images - one without the plugin (for production), and one with the plugin (for my local dev environment). From my point of view, these all are needless extra efforts required from the Caddy users.

To be clear, this is a problem with Docker, not a problem with Caddy. It’s due to the limitations of Docker images and tooling.

be adopted into the core functionality

What does this look like exactly? You mean like this:

Another idea would be to make the schema exposable via admin API, so that people who use local development environment could just feed the schema’s URL to their IDEs.

? That’s possible, depends on how much complexity it adds to the core though.
