> cert-manager is easier than the docker alternative

I'm not saying that cert-manager isn't nice, but with regular Docker/Compose/Swarm setups you can just run a web server/load balancer on whatever ports you want. With mod_md the above is all I really need in a regular .conf file to provision LetsEncrypt certs for my blog (very similar with something like Caddy too). And it's the same in Docker as it is when running the web server directly, I think that's why starting with Docker is really nice, because it has fewer custom abstractions and sometimes regular software does things elegantly already.
