In the middle of trying to set up Caddy as a reverse proxy for my *arr stack. All local only - no domains or accessing from outwith the LAN.

Wondering if anyone has done similar and wouldn’t mind sharing their docker compose files/Caddyfiles? Struggling to find real-work examples that don’t error when I compose.

    I also use Traefik, and once you have it set up it’s really great. Getting it set up is a different story. My advice would be to follow the install guide as closely as you can and don’t start adding to it until it’s stable.

    You don’t need to own a domain to use a reverse proxy by the way, you just need to configure your router to recognize whatever domain you choose and route it to the container.

    Lately, I’ve been playing around with Tailscale and you don’t even need a domain or open ports to connect to your containers from outside your local network.

      I recently wrote a Caddyfile for a Dockerized Ruby on Rails application in a Kubernetes cluster using Traefik. Traefik connects to Caddy via h2c and Caddy talks to Puma in Ruby on Rails via HTTP/1.1 over UNIX socket.

      I bring this all up because I think h2c is very underutilized and this led to a huge increase in performance.

        I’ve never heard of h2c but it seems useful. I use docker swarm with a few nodes. But for internal communication all the containers can communicate with each other using docker’s built-in DNS.

        I run Traefik in front of Caddy for a few different applications including Nextcloud.
