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:
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 have not tested it, but someone did auto discovery for caddy
https://github.com/lucaslorentz/caddy-docker-proxy
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.
If you are using Docker, check out this repository for Caddy builds with different plugins https://github.com/serfriz/caddy-custom-builds
Nice!
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
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
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.
