I see so many posts and people who run NGINX as their reverse proxy. Why though? There’s HAProxy and Apache, with Caddy being a simpler option.

If you’re starting from scratch, why did you pick/are you picking NGINX over the others?

    Because Nginx Proxy Manager exists.

    And also because for me it started from web hosting where Apache and Nginx dominate and later because of many easy to understand example configs from the net including many “docker letsencrypt” examples.

      Very much became it exist. Its way simpler to do in the GUI.

      Did not have to learn anything specific, and can work for things not in docker containers too, like the Nextcloud Snap.

        And it makes it very easy to get and maintain certificates.
