A real postmortem: how a forgotten survey-tool container, an uncapped Docker log driver, and rootless networking combined to kill prod for a Monday morning.

Certbot isn't the only ACME client. Explore Caddy, acme.sh, lego, and Step CA, with practical examples for wildcard certs and DNS-01 challenges.

Set up Nginx Proxy Manager in Docker, get SSL certs, proxy hosts, access lists, and TCP streams, without reading a 40-page nginx manual.

Apache still runs half the internet by default, not by choice. Here's why Nginx and Caddy have lapped it, and when to finally make the switch.

Nginx config demystified: server blocks, location matching, proxy_pass gotchas, rate limiting, and Docker Compose setup, with working examples.

The upload works locally and dies through NGINX. The four timeouts that matter, the config that breaks them, the buffering trap, and how to test first.

Your backend logs every client as 127.0.0.1 because the proxy dropped the header. Set X-Forwarded-For, X-Real-IP, and X-Forwarded-Proto right in Nginx.

Your proxy serves the leaf certificate and skips the intermediate, so half your clients fail. How to spot it, build the chain right, and keep renewals working.

Traefik vs Nginx Proxy Manager compared for self-hosters. Docker auto-discovery, SSL certs, GUI vs labels, performance, and when to pick each reverse proxy.

Add load balancing and failover to your Docker setup using Swarm, nginx, HAProxy, and Keepalived, high availability without Kubernetes.
