caddy-docker-proxy VS Nginx Proxy Manager

From what I see, yes:

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

caddy-docker-proxy generates a Caddyfile in memory, and then it calls the internal Caddy API `/load`. So - yes, it would presumably have been affected, at least from what I saw yesterday (with our own Caddy) and if the github issue I mentioned is correct.

Sticky sessions are supported: https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/directives/reverse_pr..., and yes it's pluggable so you could write your own LB policy. Very easy, just copy the code from Caddy's source to write your own plugin. Let us know if you need help.

Also yes, Caddy does service discovery if you use https://github.com/lucaslorentz/caddy-docker-proxy, configuration via Docker labels. Or you can use dynamic upstreams (built-in) https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/directives/reverse_pr... to use A/AAAA or SRV DNS records to load your list of upstreams.

Caddy via Caddy Docker Proxy (network).

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:

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

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.

Gone are the days of manually managing all of your subdomains and certificates in Cloudflare and Nginx Proxy Manager, just setup a wildcard, and Coolify will handle the rest.

Nginx Proxy Manager — self-hosted reverse proxy with SSL built-in

Nginx Proxy Manager: if you want that dashboard life with SSL and subdomain routing.

NGINX Proxy Manager - GUI for NGINX proxy management

I've been running a tor relay relay on my static IP at my home for over a year now and haven't seen any trouble from it.

On the other hand, Nginx Proxy Manager got me blocked by brightcloud for the dumbest reason imaginable - the word "proxy" on the default "it works" page - https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/dis...

I began to self-host a Minecraft server using Crafty Controller, an Excalidraw instance, Docmost to replace Notion, Plane to replace Jira, and Penpot to replace Figma. To be able to access them from the internet, I used Nginx Proxy Manager to set up reverse proxies with SSL. You can use Traefik or Caddy instead, but I enjoyed the ease-of-use of NPM. For a dashboard solution, I started with Homarr, but later switched to Homepage because I'm apparently incapable of making a decision and sticking with it.

In our case, since we use proxymanager to manage the different domains, the entry of this configuration is done in the advanced section

Been using it for years and it’s been solid.

Most people will use nginx-proxy [0] or Traefik [1] for front ending home labs with LetsEncrypt certs... Beyond that people will protect them with things like Tailscale [2], Cloudflare Tunnels [3] or even just mTLS [4] for protected access.

Home labbing today has a lot of amazing software and it's hard to keep up!

And as for dashboarding [5] on top of all this there are a lot of options.
