Hi George,
Thanks for the in-depth reply!
I’ve actually been working with magento in one form or another for about 8 years and even when we were working with 1.x, performance was always an issue.
When you say
I take it you have already attempted to run Magento 2.2 on Caddy?
In order to get to a point on a server where you can even install Magento, you have to have all the pre-reqs taken care of first. PHP, MySQL, Web Server.
My issue is that if you have already made it to this point, why cant you have a decent, working install that you can start setting up and configuring from within the admin panel?
I consider myself pretty technically inclined and with time can figure out pretty much anything, but I look at your post and all I see is about another week of research, messing around issues and configs and that much more of a delay before I can even start using it.
I really do appreciate the in depth response and will be looking into it, but I think that there might be an opportunity here where say a small business owner can come in, take a pre-configured Caddyfile, plug in their domain, un-comment additional settings if they want and get up and running with a fresh install quickly and painlessly.
I tell you what, I’d like a second opinion here. I have a “working” Caddyfile config that is doing AWESOME for me right now, as long as you install magento via cli. I havent gotten the web-setup to work yet, and theres still a lot left I have to figure out but if you know how to install Magento 2.2.3 via composer and have all your pre-requisites setup, I’d love to hear how the experience is for you vs setting up with Apache or Nginx.

## Tried a couple different configurations and the web setup wizard would not work. I adjusted the root directive so it pointed to my docroot and could use some fresh ideas.
# rewrite {
# r ^/setup($|/)
# to {path} {path}/ ^/setup/index.php {uri} {uri}/ /index.php{uri}
# }
# header ^/setup/pub/ X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN"
## I stopped messing with the update blocks because I couldnt figure out where within the code this actually existed. Besides in just the nginx.conf.sample file.
# rewrite {
# r ^/update($|/)
# to {path} {path}/ ^/update/index.php {uri} {uri}/ /index.php{uri}
# }
## Apparently it doesnt like my regex on the if lines, Guess im doing this wrong, any ideas?
rewrite {
# if {file} not_match ^/media/theme_customization/.*\.xml
r ^/media/\.(ico|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|svg|js|css|swf|eot|ttf|otf|woff|woff2)$
# if {file} match ^/media/\.(zip|gz|gzip|bz2|csv|xml)$
to {path} {path}/ /get.php /get.php?{query}
}
header /media X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN"
# header /media/\.(ico|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|svg|js|css|swf|eot|ttf|otf|woff|woff2)$ Cache-Control "public"
# header /media/\.(zip|gz|gzip|bz2|csv|xml)$ Cache-Control "no-store"
## Taking the Version number out actually works! Instead of setting 'php bin/magento config:set dev/static/sign 0' Not good having unversioned files floating around in cache?
rewrite {
r ^/static/(version\d*/)?(.*)$
to /static/{2}
}
## Yea, no worky here either. I have a feeling that some of these things have to be getting taken care of via one of ym other rewrites?
# rewrite {
# ext .ico .jpg .jpeg .png .gif .svg .js .css .swf .eot .ttf .otf .woff .woff2
# r ^/static/?(.*)$
# to /static.php?resource={1}
# }
# rewrite {
# ext .zip .gz .gzip .bz2 .csv .xml
# r ^/static/?(.*)$
# to /static.php?resource={1}
# }
## Can regex be used with the header directive? otherwise how would the headers here, and up higher in the file, accomplish what this is supposed to?
header /static X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN"
# header /static/\.(ico|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|svg|js|css|swf|eot|ttf|otf|woff|woff2)$ Cache-Control "public"
# header /static/\.(zip|gz|gzip|bz2|csv|xml)$ Cache-Control "no-store";
## Maybe I could get a little help with an explanation on this rewrite if possible please? Why does this work without the regex? Im a bit lost here.
rewrite {
# r (index|get|static|report|404|503|health_check)\.php$
to {path} {path}/ /index.php /index.php?{query}
}
header / {
X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" ## Get around to adding making sure headers get set correctly
}
## How can you specify "off" for those files? or +1y or any of the other crazy things I've seen specified looking around?

Soooo… to recap. With the below configs, Magento 2.2.3 is up and running with no errors in my logs and pretty good performance.

Unfortunately I’m pretty sure that I’ve not configured everything in here correctly and the stuff thats commented out in the top example are a lot of what I still have questions on. @matt @Whitestrake Could use your input here on this conversion so far. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!
I suspect this could be helpful to future searchers as well.
