Traefik + CrowdSec + Authelia ftw
Traefik gang here ๐ !
But only because it works so easily with docker !! I remember a time where I though that you need a diploma and read/learn/understand a 10000 page dictionary to make nginx work properly.
Also hated the syntax of nginx... It can look so ugly and gibberish :/.
But I do believe Nginx is superior and more mature in many more aspects than Treafik. Still, Traefik is a breeze and is in IMO way easier to configure with docker than Nginx.
Yeah it's Traefik for me as well! Heavy docker user, of course - it's nice just tossing some labels into my Portainer stacks and letting Traefik figure it out. If I wasn't so invested with containers I'd be using nginx.
I used to use traefik back when it was new and less complex and the 2.0 complexity forced my hand to drop it for my homelab.
