A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Theres another webserver called Caddy that is pretty nice.

I'm an old school nginx pro. So I keep using nginx for reverse proxies because it's what I know. What does caddy have to offer (or traefik is anyone wants to jump in)? Are they just optimized for this function and more modern?

Why not Traefik as reverse proxy?

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.
