Caddy seems to good to be true? I just set it up and it works perfect, straight out of the box (alien.top)

This seems too straightforward, what's the catch?

Like how secure is it? Should I be turning it off (and disabling the port forwarding) when not using it?

Do I need any additional security? Mainly just want to use it for Jellyfin

Thanks

I switched from Traefik to Caddy a few years ago and have no ragrets. The only complaints I have about Caddy:

It doesn't support configuring virtual hosts automatically via docker labelsl (like Traefik).
Many features (like DNS auth for certs) require compiling Caddy. Which is easy but annoying.

Random question from a noobie…. Why do you use something like Traefik versus something like Cloudflare Zero Access? (Again sorry if question is dumb). I’m just a new guy to this learning as I go and after getting up zero access with a $8 domain and now being able to securely access everything via subdomains it seems confusing why apps like Traefik are still so popular? I know I’m missing something there but hoping someone points it out.

Because this is r/selfhosted. :-)
