  • Then I found out my services would work better with Caddy

    Exceptional idea. Cloudflare is nice, but Caddy will always win IMO. Additionally, considering you were able to get Caddy working, that simply drives home that unfortunately your reverse_proxy didn’t work because it was somehow misconfigured. Caddy is also a reverse_proxy.

    My comment is pretty much what I said. You have an extremely complex environment that you’re not fully making use of. For example, you’re having issues with a reverse_proxy, but you had Tailscale presumably the whole time. Why not just use your VPN to reverse_proxy your requests if you were having issues?

    Also using Caddy + Cloudflare is fine if you want to use cloudflare for DNS, however, Caddy handles all certificates itself. So you have Caddy, which can handle all the SSL certs itself, but you put Cloudflare on top of it to manage SSL certs. It’s just convoluted.

    It’s a good environment, but a little overkill.

    As someone who’s set up and managed critical business applications I would say that it’s perfectly fine to host your own provided you have decent hardware that’s capable of doing what you need and as a dedicated business line to provide connection.

    If you try to run mission critical business applications on a home internet connection you’re going to have a really bad fucking time. But hosting business critical applications on appropriate hardware and a 1Gb/s business connection with an SLA is going to meet 95-98%% of all business applications.

    If something like that sounds expensive or too difficult to do then it’s too expensive or too difficult for you to host yourself. Just go with a provider and sidestep self-host.





  • I very highly recommend that you take the time and just switch. Caddy is simply fabulous. It’s designed to work (assuming it’s compiled with the module) with containers and use docker networks for routing. It makes it easy to spin up containers and directly reference the container names instead of remembering IP addresses and particularly comes in handy when your entire environment is containerized.

    You can pull the caddy image and run it in docker and as long as your environment is configured correctly you can simply reverse_proxy @container and you’re done. Caddy pulls all the relevant port information directly from the container API.

    I get such a nerd boner thinking about it.

    Rethink DNS, DNS Warden, and ControlD with Hagezi blocklists via DoH/3. I highly recommend the ‘+ TIF’ as they are threat intelligence feeds which are up to date lists of bad actors/malware.



  • You’re completely missing what he’s saying, and how that number is calculated. It’s an average connection speed over time and you’re anecdotally saying your internet is superior because you have a higher connection speed, which isn’t really true at all.

    You have residential internet which is able to provide 3Gbps intermittently. You may even be able to sustain those speeds for several days at a time. But servers maintain those connections for months and years at a time…

    800TB/mo is 2.469 Gb/s sustained for 30 days. They may be on a 10Gb/s connection, but that doesn’t mean they have enough demand to saturate it 100% of the time.
