Traefik, Caddy, Nginx, etc. what is your reverse proxy of choice, and why? (lemmy.one)

Caddy for general reverse proxy stuff, works like magic and makes certs, routing, etc just work.

I also have a lot of my stuff subsequently reverse proxied behind Authentik for anything that shouldn't be exposed to the public internet

I love that about Caddy as well, it just works!

Do you know of any tool that can help me look at overall traffic that goes through it?

Right now I am using Mullvad through gluetun to essentially route traffic to my services without opening ports on my router and I am just curious what sort of traffic is hitting my server seeing how (I hope) isolated my address seems to be (servicename.mydomain.tld:)

I will soon migrate this reverse proxy setup to a VPS since Mullvad will be sunsetting their port forwarding feature soon but I am still in need of a tool that can show me what sort of traffic goes through Caddy. Something like countries, IPs and services that they are trying to access as well as the request types.

I haven't looked in detail at the Monitoring Caddy documentation page and haven't used this myself, but apparently it can be configured to emit a bunch of metrics in Prometheus format.

Oh, for that kind of thing you'd need to parse the log files instead. GoAccess maybe?
