  • I’m actually almost completely unfamiliar with Nginx, short of a few hours of tinkering. NginxProxyManager is a direct competitor to Caddy, with a graphical interface, SSL cert creation and auto-renew, etc. I’m not going to say to switch from Caddy, since there’s probably no major benefit, but it’s much nicer than trying to figure out Nginx reverse proxies by hand.




  • I’m going to cast another vote for a reverse proxy, such as NginxProxyManager. It’s really easy to set everything up, and they’re usually very easy to run in Docker/Podman.

    One thing to note: if you end up with a domain with mandatory HSTS, you’ll have to use DNS-based certificate generation rather than HTTP based, since unencrypted HTTP is blocked (chicken/egg problem to get HTTPS working). It’s not hard, but you have to be aware of that limitation.






  • Not trying to defend Google, but they don’t actually sell your data. Their ownership of your personal info is their biggest asset, so they wouldn’t easily give that data up to others. Instead. They serve ads to you on behalf of other companies based on their ad targeting criteria.

    I dislike Google and their entire business model, but I do at the very least trust them to keep my data captive within their own ecosystem, as hideously enormous as it is.
