I moved from Traefik to Caddy with caddy-docker-proxy for my self-hosting setup.

All the features I need but *much* simpler.

Looks interesting but I don't see the benefits really. Still looks like a lot of labels exactly like with traefik. Why should one switch?

Having had used traefik, caddy and now caddy proxy, I like the latter because labels are simple pointers to actual caddy features (reasonably documented).

I used to have all my docker compose files in elaborate structures but moved to portainer for simplicity. Together with caddy proxy it rocks (well, there are several things missing but I have hope)

Same here. I enjoyed Traefik for being able to use docker tags for my reverse proxy configuration. The mechanism is great, however I did not like Traefiks internal config structure. Caddy is much easier for me to understand and matches my (small scale) use cases much better. Using Caddy via Docker labels through caddy-docker-proxy is about as perfect as it gets (for me).
