Best reverse proxy with ACME to run in docker (lemmy.world)

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?

I use:

Apache with Letsencrypt client for single host reverse proxies or those with more complex needs. Not the easiest but when you understand it, it's fine. Lightweight, solid and very flexible.
NPM, either service or docker, where there's a lot of proxies on one host. Very simple, very reliable, baked in authentication.
Traefik, when building or deploying services, especially with docker swarm. Tags make it very smooth once you've got things set up and in your workflow.

All are good choices, but each has a specialism that make it a little bit better than the others.
