caddy-docker VS buttercup-core

The official Caddy documentation of their Docker image: https://hub.docker.com/_/caddy

I use https://static-web-server.net/

Cross-platform, written in Rust, straightforward configuration, secure defaults, also has a hardened container image and a hardened NixOS module.

I wouldn't recommend Caddy. Their official docker image runs as root unnecessarily (and the reasoning suggests a lack of understanding) [1], and they don't provide a properly sandboxed systemd unit file [2].

There is also a short section about it on the Docker hub page under the "Adding custom Caddy modules" section: https://hub.docker.com/_/caddy

Caddy uses a number of volumes. Two point directly at files within our project, first our Caddyfile, then our public folder which Caddy will serve live files. The other two are virtual filesystems Docker will create as defined by the master volumes parameters. We can assume the caddy_config volume is where active configuration is stored as it is not discussed on the Caddy Docker Official Image page, so we're copying their parameter exactly, but the caddy_data volume needs some extra discussion. It is used to store a number of things including SSL certificates. By default Docker creates and destroys volumes upon startup and exit. As we want to persist our certificate across sessions we can take advantage of an external Docker volume. These virtual filesystems are created before starting the Docker session for the first time. This can ve done from the command line or more easily from within the Docker Desktop app. Simply choose "Volumes", click the "Create" button and specify caddy_data.

I've been able to create a network with no issues (that I know of yet) but when I try to create the volumes I run into trouble. This specific example is from Caddy2...

For a reverse proxy I would suggest Caddy. The configuration is super easy and it handles SSL for you out of the box using LetsEncrypt! There’s also an official docker image like PHP and MySQL here https://hub.docker.com/_/caddy

Their image is dead simple to use, the config is fine, and auto-https is baked in. You can use it as a sidecar, proxy for multiple images, or just as a base to add your app into, depending on the complexity of your existing config.

One thing to do, especially if it is your first contribution to open source, is to find some projects. In my opinion, it is great to choose some technologies and software you use every day. An example for me is my password manager, Buttercup (buttercup.pw). I love to contribute to it because it is helpful for the community. Moreover, it is a satisfaction to see and use my updates in the product. So, the first thing to do is to list some projects you like, for example:

I feel like Buttercup [1] doesn't get enough attention. Open source, available on all platforms, and has imports from multiple other password managers. If several people offered a small monthly donation for some time, we'd all be in a more competitive situation with password manager companies whose interests drift from our own through time.

ButterCup

I’m the creator of https://buttercup.pw - it should work on LAN only. If it doesn’t that’s something I’d definitely add support for.

Buttercup looks pretty good, and it had android and iOS apps https://buttercup.pw

The easiest are LastPass and [Buttercup](https://buttercup.pw/)

http://buttercup.pw is free, runs on all major platforms, and is really nice to use.
