Does anyone have a guide to Traefik for an absolute idiot (myself)?

I was able to get a freshrss server running using dockercompose and was able to connect to it on my local network, but all the guides I read said I NEED to have a reverse proxy before I access it remotely.

This is probably my sign I need to actually learn how to use docker instead of being lazy as hell and copy/pasting code, but I thought I’d ask.

      +1 for caddy. I had some issues with traefik and switched to caddy and it’s so easy!

      Just need to learn the more advanced stuff for the Caddyfile like error redirects and what not.

          Im new with reverse proxies. My understanding is that npm is way easier to do stuff with the UI and you use it to setup the certs and all that.

          With caddy it has auto https. So you just need one Caddyfile listing your reverse proxies and that’s it. It just works. No config or anything.

          Now if you want to do more advanced stuff like what you would do with nginx conf files, caddy is very expansive with its directives. Setting up redirects or error pages and what not. It’s super simple in the Caddyfile. I’m still learning how to do more complex stuff like if else statements and what not.

      I installed npm (Nginx Proxy Manager) without problems before I heard about Caddy.

      Npm works well and requires zero maintenance, and it’s easy to manually add redirects via the web ui when I start new Docker containers.

      “If it works, don’t fix it.” But if I didn’t have npm today I would try Caddy.

      Also consider there’s a plugin designed to change its config dynamically through docker labels sort of like Traefik, although I can’t say I’ve used it myself.
