I think a lot of people just haven’t heard of Caddy. Since I’ve found it I haven’t used anything else.
It might be worth looking more deeply into. From a cursory glance, it might be usable for my usecase, but many service have configuration examples for NGINX (or Apache if they're old). I've never seen caddy examples. What has your experience been with adapting those examples to caddy?

Caddy is so simple you don’t really need configuration examples. The extra configuration many docker services have you configure in Nginx are already done by default with Caddy. Though I have seen Caddy config examples around sometimes.
If all you’re using it for is reverse proxying, you don’t need config examples for Nginx or Caddy, just understand how to configure them.
