[Docker] Custom docker container for Caddy proxy

[SchrodingersGat]

Currently the docker setup requires a custom caddy config file which must be copied into the running caddy container.

However we could simplify this by building our own proxy container which we then push to dockerhub / ghcr

This would reduce the number of required files

[SchrodingersGat]

While a custom caddyfile container might make complex / custom deployments harder, users can always revert to their own custom container in such cases. In general this should make setup simpler. A good target for 1.0.0

@SchrodingersGat maybe we can use a shared folder between server and proxy and make the config available that way?

That will only work with named volumes, but then we need to instruct people to not change that named volume to a bind mount, but people will do that, ...

[matmair]

Wouldn’t the server not work anymore at that point?

I do not really understand what you mean by this.

I am currently testing , and will push a simplified docker setup if it works well
