I use and appreciate both Traefik and Caddy. I like that Traefik includes TLS termination, whereas the equivalent functionality with Caddy requires compiling a separate module with xcaddy.
I'm pretty sure that's how I'm already using Caddy, and I didn't compile anything separate. Maybe it's packaged automatically as part of the Caddy Docker image?
My original comment probably wasn't clear enough, I meant to say that caddy doesn't support layer 4 TLS termination without third-party modules. For example, if I wanted a reverse proxy in front of a Gitea instance that would terminate and route TCP packets to/from port 22... this is something Traefik can do out of the box.
We plan to move layer4 into the standard Caddy distribution eventually. We're still stabilizing it, and once we're happy with it (and have the time and energy to) we'll bring it in.
Exciting! Looking forward to it. I end up needing xcaddy for a few other modules so it's not that big of a deal, but I always feel better using first-party functionality over relying on third-party modules.
There's even a great docker with caddy and the cloudflare DNS-01 module built in which was just what I needed. That saved me having to deal with xcaddy (it was ok, but compiling was slow)
