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?

    Contrary to most, I never made the Apache-to-nginx switch. I actually don’t find nginx that much easier to configure, so the effort of rewriting all my templates was too high.

    Caddy is a different story. I can replace swathes of configuration lines with just two? And get letsencrypt automatically without having to give it a single thought? Gimme!
