Caddy

★ 60k

Web server with automatic HTTPS by default — a two-line config replaces an afternoon of nginx.

Caddy does the job of NGINX Plus, self-hosted. It is Apache-2.0-licensed, so you can do essentially what you like with it, and it installs in about one command. NGINX Plus bills $60+ for it. 60k stars on GitHub.
