I started making this in 2017 for myself because I got tired of configuring apache/nginx, and also because I love that the go standard library has everything you need for the web. Finally it has turned into something well-defined that I think everyone can use.

It's best for writing your own go servers using the library, then everything is automatically configured, with TLS on internal connections too, and it runs your server in a chroot as a restricted user by default. It's also one line of config to reverse proxy servers with a web UI like Syncthing or Plex (but you run those yourself).
