is exactly why I never left Caddy I run about 60 containers across two InterServer boxes and Caddy's memory graph is basically a flat line The Docker label thing is overrated, you can generate a Caddyfile from labels with a 20-line script if you really need it Has anyone actually tried KnownHost's ARM instances for this? Curious if the memory gap shrinks on different hardware

Did anyone ever confirm whether that Traefik leak was fixed in the newer releases? 43 days is a long time to sit on 1.2 GB.

For monitoring I use simple node_exporter.

On the memory point—Caddy's 80 MB vs 400 MB+ matters a lot on ARM where you're already fighting for every watt. I run a similar setup on InterServer and ended up wrapping Caddy in a small label-to-Caddyfile generator instead of switching proxies.

Not as pretty as Traefik labels but the instance breathes easier.
