docker VS traefik

Everything is working fine, but it is not currently doing the automatic code reload. I tried mounting the volume but there is some conflict with the way docker and virtualbox handles files such that the conflict leads to file changes from the host not reflected in docker container. (That's not the first link I have that appears related to this problem, it's just the first I found while googling it on another day)...

Moby is the core of Docker. https://github.com/docker/docker redirects to it.

Docker however has made some major screwups in their IPv6 implementation, so it’s not so trivial as you’d expect it to be. There’s a whole discussion about it here: https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/issues/6075 but the gist is: Docker cannot auto-assign addresses (SLAAC) like a normal endpoint, it also cannot request a prefix (DHCPv6 PD) like a router, you have to set it all up manually.

That said, Swarm is definitely in maintenance mode, which is actually how some people like it, given that this means pretty good stability for the current features, instead of breaking changes, which are a slightly larger concern in the case of Kubernetes. However, this also means that new features will get implemented only occasionally, if ever - the last big one that i recall was Swarm jobs. Essentially, i'd say that it's still just a question of time until Swarm dies, but for now it's in the sweet spot of stability and usability if all that you need is a pretty simple and lightweight orchestrator.

From scrounging through the internet, my understanding is if multiple docker containers are run based on the same image, the only extra disk space used is what the writable layer uses and the read-only image data is shared by all the containers. https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/issues/1520#issuecomment-305179362

Wowww: https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/issues/6910#issue...

What the hell does "Docker's new direction to go back to its roots and focus on developer tooling" even mean? Docker is developer tooling, that's the whole product. That's not "going back to your roots" that's just doing your damn job.

However, it's very unlikely that .NET developers will directly expose their Kestrel-based web apps to the internet. Typically, we use other popular web servers like Nginx, Traefik, and Caddy to act as a reverse-proxy in front of Kestrel for various reasons:

Not as good though. Case in point: https://github.com/traefik/traefik/issues/5472#issuecomment-... (that's just from this morning)

I'm speak objectively here. Of course, any built-in auto HTTPS that works (more or less) is better than none. Traefik uses an ACME library that was originally written for Caddy. After the original author left that project, Traefik team started maintaining it. Caddy's users' requirements exceeded what the library was capable of, but unfortunately there was friction in getting it to achieve our requirements. So I ended up writing a new ACME client library in Go and, together with upgrades in CertMagic (Caddy's auto-TLS lib), Caddy has the more flexible, robust, and capable auto-HTTPS functionality.

That is to say, not all auto-HTTPS functionalities are the same.

We'll use Traefik, an open source cloud native gateway that can plug into a Kubernetes cluster. It has the concept of "middleware" that can process API requests before passing them through to a backend. We can configuring a rate limit for all of our API endpoints by matching on the request path:

I did the same question here and here

Sadly there is currently no way of doing so. https://github.com/traefik/traefik/issues/6999

Traefik is another widely used system that has automatic configuration and offers support for more things like swarm/kubernetes/etc.

I have a webapp which I currently have deployed by running nginx in a container. Works as it should, however I am intersted in adding more observability to the webapp and found this reverse-proxy https://github.com/traefik/traefik which seems to expose some nice metrics which can be useful for observability.
