I fiddled around for many hours with traefik, and could not get it to do what I wanted -- something I'd done before and had a known example working config of.

10 minutes of caddy, I had everything running exactly as I wanted and the job was done.

I tried Traefik for the first time around 6 months ago (version 2) - man, coming from nginx (which I wouldn't call simple), I found Traefik config to be really confusing. It felt like I had to specify the same stuff 2 or 3 times, and in general it was just so unintuitive. And the docs (at the time at least) only showed snippets of trivial examples.

I don't think I'd choose to use it again. Instead, I'll try Caddy, or HAProxy if I need massive performance.
