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.
@fraydabson@krdo been curious about caddy before but I have no reason to switch from nginx-proxy-manager. Has anyone got any experience with both of these ? How do they compare?
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.
@fraydabson Thanks for the explainer. I was recently tempted to try it out but my certs end everything is managed by NPM and didn’t really have the time to redo my whole setup but it looms interesting
