acme-companion VS caddy-docker-proxy

My hunch is that because I decided to include the acme-companion image in this nginx setup, that maybe it has something to do with the SSL certs? The only other thing I could think of is that I had to combine the networks in order for nginx-proxy and Sonarr both to be able to see my transmission instance via:

Probably want acme with nginx https://github.com/nginx-proxy/acme-companion

setting up letsencrypt with nginx-proxy and acme-companion

I'm experiencing a weird situation, and am not sure how to go about finding a solution. I am running the nginx-proxy container (https://github.com/nginx-proxy/nginx-proxy) together with the acme-companion container (https://github.com/nginx-proxy/acme-companion) to provide https connections to all my different applications under different subdomains on the same host (currently, for testing purposes: only two other nginx containers with a plain html page).

We use the nginx-proxy docker image with its acme-companion to have an auto configuring SSL reverse proxy, so it's really easy to deploy images (we do it based on a merge PR into protected release branches).

Use a reverse proxy to handle TLS/SSL encryption. I find nginx-proxy with companion easy to use, just follow steps 1, 2, 3.

Where I'm running into issues is with the two stacks I have deployed - one is a wordpress stack which uses the wordpress image along with a db image (going by the docs here), and the other is the nginx-proxy and acme-companion (going by the docs here).

Just use nginx-proxy and the LetsEncrypt companion as reverse proxy to handle TLS/SSL in front of your web server.

You can simply use this proxy container which automatically generates nginx config based on envs set in your containers. There is also a companion container which takes care of your certs. https://github.com/nginx-proxy/nginx-proxy https://github.com/nginx-proxy/acme-companion

https://github.com/lucaslorentz/caddy-docker-proxy

It handles the routing to multiple dockerized projects on one server, by scanning docker compose files for labels and automatically setting up the required caddy configuration.

My go to is always this instead:

Single label to a docker container and with correct DNS you’ll have an automatically managed certificate right away.

I have had a great experience with using this: https://github.com/lucaslorentz/caddy-docker-proxy

It combines caddy with docker-compose labels, making it super easy to spin up new projects that can immediately be exposed.

If you want a slightly heavier but more robust solution, caddy-docker-proxy[0] is a plugin that listens to the Docker socket and automatically updates the Caddy configuration based on Docker labels you add to containers.

I.e. it makes Caddy act a bit more like Traefik. Most of the time, you'll just add the label `caddy.reverse_proxy={{upstreams http 8080}}` to your containers and the plugin will regenerate Caddy's configuration whenever the container is modified.

I disagree, Caddy works great in Docker. See https://caddyserver.com/docs/running#docker-compose, and CDP is a project that autoconfigures Caddy from labels https://github.com/lucaslorentz/caddy-docker-proxy. Regarding plugins, it's super simple to write a Dockerfile to add plugins, we ship a builder image variant that can be used to compile in any plugins you want.

This way, Caddy will buffer the request and give 30 seconds for your new service to get online when you're deploying a new version.

Ideally, during deployment of a new version the new version should go live and healthy before caddy starts using it (and kills the old container). I've looked at https://github.com/Wowu/docker-rollout and https://github.com/lucaslorentz/caddy-docker-proxy but haven't had time to prioritize it yet.

Docker labels support is available via a plugin https://github.com/lucaslorentz/caddy-docker-proxy

I am trying now for some Days to use a Caddyfile additionaly to the auto generated files from lucas lorentzes caddy repositroy. https://github.com/lucaslorentz/caddy-docker-proxy
