This is exactly how I deployed my last few projects, and it works great!

The only things I'd change are switching to Caddy instead of Traefik (because Traefik 2.x config is just so bewilderingly complex!), and I'm not convinced Portainer is really adding any value.

Appreciate you sharing your setup script too.

Agree the traefik config is a little complex but otherwise it works great for me. About using portainer, it's useful for showing a holistic view of your containers and stacks, but I also use it for remote deployment of services (Eg as part of CI/CD). I'll push a new docker image version then I'll use the portainer webhooks to redeploy the service, then docker swarm takes over.

Ah, I wasn't aware of the web hooks, that sounds useful :)

Here's an example using GitHub Actions: https://github.com/badsyntax/docker-box/tree/master/examples...

Absolutely agree, I switched to Caddy recently and the configuration is considerably easier than Traefik. Very simple TLS setup (including self signed certificates).

After some struggle I've managed to set up traefik with tags/docker socket so that services can "expose themselves" via tags in their service definitions - is there anything similar for caddy?
