Wdym TLS is an enterprise feature? I'm using mTLS and TLS in their OSS version. The certificates are generated via cert-manager. If you expect something like Caddy's auto-provision of certs, then (AFAIK) neither HAProxy nor NGINX have it

Traefik maintainer here. I can confirm that bring-your-own certificates, ACME, and mTLS are all included in the OSS version. For enterprise users, Traefik Hub also provides seamless integration with HashiCorp Vault. Regarding the cache middleware: like many of our more advanced middlewares, you have two options. You can use a community-maintained plugin (such as Souin), or your organization can purchase an enterprise…

If I open a pull request for distributed Lets Encrypt, you'd accept it?

> Regarding the cache middleware ... purchase an enterprise license

Literally what I said. Also the oddest thing to strip out to get people to pay for enterprise.

I suppose yes. That's actually what happened with distributed rate-limit.

Traefik maintainer here. Documentation quality has been a common complaint. Previously, we only provided reference documentation and relied on the community to create tutorials and guides. Based on feedback like yours, we've completed documentation rewrite. Have you had a chance to review the new version? Your feedback is taken very seriously, so we'd greatly value your thoughts on these improvements.

Hi there. I'm a brand new Traefik user. It's bundled with k3s, so I set it up for my homelab on a single node cluster. I'm a technology professional who has worked in infrastructure and software roles for more than 15 years. I appreciate that you revised the docs, but I still found it quite difficult just to get started. My experience was poor enough that I almost switched to Caddy. The thing that kept me from doing…

Excellent feedback! This is valuable advice for any project.

> I disagree. If you're a heavy Traefik user you're eventually going to need a feature that has been carefully omitted from the F/OSS projects. Ok, I use it at home as part of my K8s cluster. I haven't once come close to needing a feature I don't have because it largely does what I need as a proxy and gets out of the way. What features do you feel a more average of the target audience is likely to need or want to pay…

Didn't claim it was heavy use, I explicitly stated the context of the use and why I might not have run into the same issues being alluded to.

The question stands, with something like keycloak why would someone pay for an auth layer?
