Title. I looked at how to configure anything and found Caddy to be much easier to use. Aside from a lot of docker images integrating with it, why is everyone using it? Edit: I meant Traefik

I switched to Traefik as it has auto-configuring for containers for effortless deployment to any of your environments (dev, test, staging, production, etc.) either manually or straight from CI/CD.

The way it works is that you put any configuration in your compose file which is then picked-up by Traefik when its deployed - it reads the config, re-configures itself accordingly, and you're done! So all your reverse-proxy config, cert config, etc. is all with the project so aren't going to get out-of-sync.

Just keeps things really clean and simple. Plus it's a great reverse proxy of course with tons of features, nice admin dashboard, logging, etc.
