Looks like the writing is on the wall for Apple Server.
Dumping many services, and suggesting replacements.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208312
As always, here is a cut and paste of some of the details in case it goes away.
Prepare for changes to macOS Server

Learn about changes coming to macOS Server in spring 2018

macOS Server is changing to focus more on management of computers, devices,
and storage on your network. As a result, some changes are coming in how Server works.
A number of services will be deprecated, and will be hidden on new installations of an
update to macOS Server coming in spring 2018. If you've already configured one of these
services, you'll still be able to use it in the spring 2018 macOS Server update.

These deprecated services will be removed in a future release of macOS Server,
so those depending on them should consider alternatives, including hosted services.
Deprecated services are listed below. Links to potential replacements are provided
underneath each deprecated service.
