Almost spit out my coffee when I saw Docker and Hugo together! Still, I like the self-contained nature of this with the Python form handling.

For anyone that wants a simpler setup:

Netlify forms [0] can handle form submissions, 100 per month (per site) on the free tier, just add "netlify" to the form html. I have some sites that use this and I get very little spam. Netlify also gives you a CDN.

Caddy [1] is a great webserver and can reverse proxy, serve content, and does automatic SSL. Configuration is pretty easy, although V1 was a little easier. I have it running a Django site right now and probably wouldn't even bother with nginx again. Traefik AND nginx for a static site seems pretty heavy to me.
