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?

    Caddy certainly was the easier option but it’s as complex as nginx now and id argue it’s hard to to use.

      Why do you say that?

      I’ve used both plenty and only once I thought Caddy was harder: caching. It requires you to install a plugin that also doesn’t have the easiest of configs. I think there’s a new and simpler one nowadays, but haven’t tried it yet.

      I now use Caddy by default for everything new I make/host.
