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 find some of the workflows in it a bit strange, like not having an Add button on the list of host proxies, it's a separate menu item on the left which weird. And the way you request a SSL cert by hitting OK and then you get a popup asking if you want a cert, and you'd better have already set your options for how you want the cert, but if you create a host without a cert you have to go through all the options again and check them because it doesn't keep track of your preference.

IDK, in any case it fixed a bunch of problems I was having with NPM so it has that going for it, which is nice.

I have the same issues you listed. I only have one wildcard domain so it was only an issue once but I do think a UI change/workflow would help.
