I'm looking into setting up https for my local services. Everything is currently set up using the official caddy docker image.

I want to use now connect caddy to cloudflare to resolve the DNS 01. It looks like this is possible with a drop in replacement for caddy from either https://github.com/CaddyBuilds/caddy-cloudflare or https://github.com/serfriz/caddy-custom-builds

Is anyone here using these builds? Are they reliable? Is there an alternative I havent considered?

I custom-build the Caddy container since it is easy to do with xcaddy. It is automated to run every week via Forgejo Actions on a Forgejo repo, and one can pull the latest images from there using Portainer or whatever docker updater software there is.

You can also use any other CI/CD solutions you like as long as it churn out a regularly updated image. Github Actions is another good one if you don't wanna set up Forgejo.

The caddy-cloudflare image is probably also enough for your use case, assuming they're regularly updated. But if you like control, CI is one way to go.
