I've also really struggled with Caddy despite everyone saying its so simple. I'm pretty new to all this, but I had better luck with Traefik - I now actually have a reverse proxy up and running correctly, which I haven't been able replicate with Caddy.
Traefik labels make sense to me in a way Caddy does not.
I appreciate this response. I'll try booting up traefik later.
I think Caddy just abstracts things to such a great degree that if you dont already know what it's supposed to do, it's harder to learn what you're doing with it. I'm sure plenty of others have stepped right up and loved the "two line config" without already understanding the basics, but it's not clicking for me.
