What's not working with traefik? I like the traefik dashboard since it kind of helps troubleshoot things. I'll admit traefik isn't the easiest reverse proxy to work on at first but it clicks after a period of time. You can do wildcard certs with traefik as well
I have several issues with traefik: first is that I can't access the dashboard. The second is that as I was given a LOT of help setting it all up (some years ago), I've ended up with config files that I don't fully understand myself. When I tried, for example, to use traefik for certificates to protect my installation of mealie, I simply couldn't. So my mealie instance is unprotected, running just with http.
I'm getting to the stage where I'm thinking about paying for some professional sysadmin time ... As I said in my OP, I'm nowhere near competent as a sysadmin, especially with networking, and if I can get something to work, I'm thrilled and never want to touch it again, in case I break it.
Yea I get it..traefik very intimidating at first but I sware if you play around with it for a day or two like a lighbulb will just turn on..it's super confusing at first. Obtaining certs should be fairly easy and in terms of dashboard..that shouldn't be that hard to access either
