Our product assumes familiarity with Caddy/Nginx -- we'll make it more accessible soon. We give you global anycast nodes on it and you're in full control of the config (they can be edited on the website), so anything you can have in a Caddy config can be used on Novanode.
The managed bits are the certs/configs/failover so that you don't need to be concerned about that.
Though for a single VPS instance it could makes sense to just host your own caddy on that node. If you need global distribution Novanode is a good answer.
Yeah, honestly we didn't want to go with the IaaS/cloudflare style pricing model, we give you full fly.io nodes and control of them and forward the cost. Keeps things simple and without the tricks. I can see what you're saying though
Our goal is actually not to hide the configs behind a bunch of partial UI elements you get full control of your proxy. All your caddy configs should work out of the box. For SSL termination we use acme and you can use the dns method (let us know if you dns provider isn't in the plugins and we'll add it)
Pretty much the only thing we add is a storage layer for your certs so you avoid the acme rate limit for multi-region deployments
