I've been self hosting traditionally in debian, but I would like to be able to add services easier using docker. As such, I'm looking to move to a container based architecture.

One place I struggle is that I can't seem to find a good container where the default image supports ACME to support Let's encrypt for automatic cert renewal.

For Nginx, I would have you build my container. HAproxy ACME support seems to be a shell script.

Any suggestions?

Yep I use caddy for all that. Bonus is caddy has a docker compose proxy plugin where all your domain/port/cert config can be part of your each application’s compose file, rather than needing to make adjustments in caddy centrally. Works great for my purposes.

thanks for mentioning the Caddy-Docker-Proxy plugin.

Traefik does the same thing with docker labels.
