Does anyone have a guide to Traefik for an absolute idiot (myself)?

I was able to get a freshrss server running using dockercompose and was able to connect to it on my local network, but all the guides I read said I NEED to have a reverse proxy before I access it remotely.

This is probably my sign I need to actually learn how to use docker instead of being lazy as hell and copy/pasting code, but I thought I’d ask.

    In my setup I still use reverse proxy even though all of my services are inside a VPN. IMO it is just more convenient to have services accesible as subdomains or subdirectory than as different ports.

      +1 for this, add Tailscale DNS or similar on top plus a local redirect and you have easy access to it all through the same unified FQDN no matter if local, remote through an exposed Caddy, or remote through your VPN.

        Do you have some guides to share regarding local redirect ? I have some troubles accessing my services from my phone when I am at home and it forces me to turn on the VPN, I couldn’t fine a solution so far…

          I don’t have a guide at hand but I basically just set a wildcard DNS rewrite on AdGuard Home so that *.my.domain redirects to the IP running my reverse proxy. Since AdGuard is set up at the router level, everything goes through it so the proxy handles everything from there.
          I can share specifics after I get home in a few hours if you need a hand, feel free to reach out.
