I have started using Traefik on one of my projects and it's a nice upgrade from nginx proxy manager. NPM is great, its web gui is noce, but with Traefik all I need to do is write what I want to happen in the docker compose file and that's it.

My home setup is kind of this but it's unraid running the containers and one of them is an nginx thingy specifically designed for reverse proxying other services.

This is more or less how I do it, too. Debating switching from Debian to something like Flatcar which is container-first with an immutable system/OS.

I think FreeBSD has some interesting technical merits, but like it or not Docker is the default for a lot of open source software, and I have neither the time nor the inclination to translate everything to freebsd jails.

I've had my private servers running Arch (managed by Ansible) for the last 5 years but have recently been looking into Talos for the same reasons. Setting up a single node k8s using Talos was actually pretty straight forward. In the end I decided against it just because I couldn't justify the continuous load caused by k8s components when my stuff is only sporadically in use... Instead I now have them on NixOS and I really enjoy the declarative approach (although the language annoys me).
