Caddy vs Nginx Proxy Manager vs Traefik: Reverse Proxy Showdown (Real Let’s Encrypt HTTPS)

In this video we compare the 3 most homelab friendly reverse proxies the practical way: Caddy vs Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) vs Traefik. We run the same test container (whoami) behind each proxy and request a real Let’s Encrypt certificate using HTTP-01, so you can see what the setup and workflow actually feels like. Links Guide: https://github.com/HomeSecExplorer/vi... What you’ll learn What a reverse proxy does (TLS/HTTPS, routing, optional auth, allowlists, logging) The fastest way to get trusted HTTPS in a homelab When to pick Caddy vs NPM vs Traefik How HTTP-01 works (and why port 80 must be reachable from the internet) A quick security checklist for reverse proxies Quick “pick this if” guide Pick Caddy if you want the simplest “it just works” HTTPS and a clean config file Pick NPM if you want a GUI and click-ops for hosts + certificates Pick Traefik if your services change often and you want Docker labels (and Kubernetes later) Requirements (for this exact lab) Linux host with Docker + Docker Compose A domain that resolves publicly to your WAN IP (DDNS is fine) Port forward TCP 80 to your proxy host (required for Let’s Encrypt HTTP-01) Optional: port forward TCP 443 to your proxy host (for public HTTPS) Comment below: Which proxy are you using and why?
