This is valuable feedback. In retrospect I didn't explain my problem at all. I'm really good at reading instructions, pretty poor at asking for help.
I'm going to take another crack at this, after I read up on and learn all about Caddy. At first glance it looks like it takes away a lot of my pain points from Traefik.
It works. I wish the counter next to the notification bell would clear after I read the notifications. Instead I have to force close the app to force it to reload.
I'm reading about Caddy and playing around with it. It seems pretty straightforward. I'll have to see if I can't implement it.
