I used traefik a lot, but man those labels get tedious. I still don’t get all the middleware stuff. I switched to using caddy, a caddyfile feels like a huge improvement. Much less lines for the same results. No routers no middleware just define a port mapping to the container:port.

If you go to a server you get https for free, no extra config.

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.
