This seems too straightforward, what’s the catch?
Like how secure is it? Should I be turning it off (and disabling the port forwarding) when not using it?
Do I need any additional security? Mainly just want to use it for Jellyfin
Thanks

I switched from Traefik to Caddy a few years ago and have no ragrets. The only complaints I have about Caddy:
If you are using Docker, check out this repository for Caddy builds with different plugins https://github.com/serfriz/caddy-custom-builds
Nice!
You mean using dns providers like cloud flare?
It’s very easy just don’t this
caddy add-package github.com/caddy-dns/cloudflareHere you go: https://github.com/lucaslorentz/caddy-docker-proxy. No more extra Caddy configuration file.
Whoa, just when I thought I had completed my setup haha
Don’t hate me but I use Apache2, why would use caddy?
I used Apache for many years. It’s great! But Caddy is simpler, easier and lighter weight.
I wrote something that can setup caddy automatically from docker labels.
It’s not well documented as I mostly wrote it for myself. https://hub.docker.com/r/mheys1/docker-dynamic-caddy https://github.com/mattheys/ddc
It basically acts like a DNS server serving up SRV records that caddy can use for dynamic configuration, I added in an on_demand_tls endpoint as well so that you don’t get spammed for non existent TLS records.
Anyone know if Caddy would be a good pick for a reverse proxy on a public subnet to distribute traffic to a bunch of subdomains in low traffic settings? I figure it could be a single source for all HTTPS stuff in my stack.
Or is it really just for like single applications running through Docker? Sorry, I haven’t played with it too much.
Yes, it excels at that usecase. Caddy will automatically set up and manage certificates for each subdomain.
I have not tested it, but someone did auto discovery for caddy

Random question from a noobie…. Why do you use something like Traefik versus something like Cloudflare Zero Access? (Again sorry if question is dumb). I’m just a new guy to this learning as I go and after getting up zero access with a $8 domain and now being able to securely access everything via subdomains it seems confusing why apps like Traefik are still so popular? I know I’m missing something there but hoping someone points it out.
Because this is r/selfhosted. :-)
I use Caddy and agree with your last point in the context of Crowdsec
