So I'm in the process of (re-) setting up my homelab and unsure about how to handle databases. Many images require a database, which the docker-compose usually provides inside the stack....
Mooching off this other post
Primary question: What do people do for their reverse proxies (and associated ACME clients)? Do you have a single unified one? Or do you use separate proxies for each stack? Or some mess in between?
My use case question: For example, I have a (mess that is a) Nextcloud instance with a separate stack with nginx and ACME, a SearXng that wants to run caddy (but has shoved into the nginx).
But now I have a Lemmy docker that has a custom(?) nginx instance, should I just port it to my existing nginx or run them side by side?
I run the HAProxy and ACME packages available from PFSense on my firewall.
Certificate rotation is automatic, connected to my domain in cloudflare and I have 1 *:443 listener on a virtual IP with about a dozen backends pointing directly to each app.
