Thank you for the response Brad! Yes, I'm interested in setting up my own geocaching server that a small private group could use to drop items at various locations to be found by others, like in the Wikipedia link you provided.
I suppose there's no already made plug-in or web application available for this kind of thing using geoserver. I didn't want to reinvent another wheel if it had been done. I suppose I can look into how to use geoserver as the back-end system for a web application then. I'm afraid I don't have much experience but why not give it a shot right?

Can this be done with geoserver? If you mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocaching then you could do some kind of web application with geoserver in the background, but there isn't anything geocaching specific. If you mean a web cache with geospatial content, then geoserver has several features that can help - geowebcache, cascaded services, etc. See https:// docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/data/cascaded/index.html If that doesn't answer the question, can you say what problem you are trying to solve, and what data you need to handle?
