Using Traefik outside of k8s is for masochists. Especially after configv2. Caddy is by far the easiest reverse proxy to configure and has the sanest defaults.
What they’re asking is why Traefik/Caddy and not nginx? Do they offer anything that nginx doesn’t? Nginx is pretty tried and true and honestly, in this space, I personally prefer tried and true over new and shiney unless new and shiney offers something I need that old faithful doesn’t.
To be fair, I was an Apache hold out for a looong time until I accepted my lord and savior nginx into my heart.
Why not Traefik as reverse proxy?
