There have been a few Reddit, Lemmy and Youtube posts over the past week or so about Nginx Proxy Manager and their shortfalls, mostly towards CVEs and other security issues.

The problem is that unlike Traefik, NGINX Proxy Manager is actually easy to use. And before you recommend Caddy, that also has no GUI.

What do you use, if you have stuff exposed to the outside?

Okay I use plain Nginx at home and at work mostly. Caddy (or its underlying Go runtime) has some performance regressions with HTTP/2 back then. Not sure if it has been fixed or not. Traefik is more container (docker/kubernete) affinitive imo, though I know it can be configured to function just like Nginx and Caddy.

P.S. I stopped for a second thinking what NPM you are referring to… (Isn’t that Node Package Manager lol)

Yes the NPM (Node.js vs NGINX Proxy Manager) is unfortunate, but why would I be comparing package manager to a reverse proxy ey?
