SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Provides a concise, opinionated framework to select and configure reverse proxies (Caddy vs Traefik) for modern infrastructure, consolidating TLS, routing, and observability best practices into actionable guidance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clear tool selection between Caddy and Traefik based on deployment context (VPS, Docker Swarm, Kubernetes).
  • Copy-paste-ready configurations and patterns for TLS, load balancing, rate limiting, and security headers.
  • Real-world scenarios including multi-service ingress, dynamic service discovery, and zero-downtime config reloads.

Quick Start

Try a minimal VPS or containerized setup to compare Caddy and Traefik and validate TLS and routing.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose between Caddy and Traefik for a reverse proxy?▼

Select Caddy for straightforward VPS deployments needing automatic TLS, or choose Traefik for dynamic service discovery in Docker Swarm and Kubernetes environments.

How do I configure automatic TLS and routing in Caddy or Traefik?▼

Configuring automatic TLS and routing uses copy-paste-ready configuration patterns provided for both proxies, covering routing rules, load balancing, and security headers for production layouts.

Can I use Traefik for dynamic service discovery in Docker Swarm?▼

Yes, Traefik supports dynamic service discovery in Docker Swarm, offering real-world scenarios for multi-service ingress, zero-downtime config reloads, and middleware integration.

What is the best way to set up multi-service ingress with zero-downtime reloads?▼

The best way to set up multi-service ingress with zero-downtime reloads involves applying opinionated production layout patterns that support dynamic routing and automated TLS configuration.

How do I add rate limiting and authentication to a reverse proxy?▼

Adding rate limiting and authentication to a reverse proxy involves applying middleware configurations, generating copy-paste-ready rules that enforce security headers and access controls.
