I have been self-hosting for a while now with Traefik. It works, but I’d like to give Nginx Proxy Manager a try, it seems easier to manage stuff not in docker.

Edit: btw I’m going to try this out on my RPI, not my hetzner vps, so no risk of breaking anything

    Traefik is a PITA.

    Caddy all the way. If you build it with Docker support (or grab the prebuilt), you can use docker container names to reverse proxy using names instead of any IP addresses or ports. It’s nice because if the IP updates, so does caddy. All automatically.

    Here’s what my caddyfile looks like;

    {
            acme_dns cloudflare {key}
    }
    
    domain.dev {
            encode zstd gzip
            root * /var/www/html/domain.dev/
            php_fastcgi unix//run/php/php8.1-fpm.sock
            tls {
                    dns cloudflare {key}
            }
    }
    *.domain.dev {
            encode zstd gzip
            tls {
                    dns cloudflare {key}
            }
            @docker host docker.domain.dev
            handle @docker {
                    encode zstd gzip
                    reverse_proxy {portainer}
            }
            @test host test.domain.dev
            handle @test {
                    encode zstd gzip
                    reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:10000
            }
            @images host i.domain.dev
            handle @images {
                    encode zstd gzip
                    reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:9002
            }
            @proxy host proxy.domain.dev
            handle @proxy {
                    encode zstd gzip
                    reverse_proxy proxy
            }
            @portal host portal.domain.dev
            handle @portal {
                    encode zstd gzip
                    reverse_proxy portal
            }
            @ping host ping.domain.dev
            handle @ping {
                    encode zstd gzip
                    respond "pong!"
            }
    }
    

    DNS hosted by cloudflare but because caddy handles ACME certs, all the subdomains automatically get SSL.

      Actually I found traefik rather easy, I just had to make the proper docker labels and config.

      PITA

      Unrelated, I’m going to sound like a grammar nazi here, but holy shit there are so many acronmys, how am I supposed to know every one of them without googling? Please just say “traefik is a pain in the ass”. Also please don’t take this as a snarky reply.

        PITA = pain in the ass.

        I never said it was hard. Just a real pain in the ass. Like iptables vs UFW. They’re the same thing, but one is easy and a pain in the ass and the other is just easy… So I opt to make my life easier. lol
