Research direction

Start with the reverse proxy section of the linked Syncthing Discovery Server documentation and investigate how Caddy v2 should be configured for it. Add a Caddy guide to that section, then verify that the instructions explain a working setup clearly enough for users to follow.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The reverse proxy section of Syncthing Discovery Server has no guide on setting it up with Caddy (v2). I can't for the life of me figure out how to make it work.
