Subject: What's the best way to set up a docker proxy service for secure container traffic?

Hey folks,

I’ve been tinkering with Docker lately and keep hearing about using a docker proxy service to manage container traffic securely. But tbh, I’m a bit lost on the best approach.

Should I go with something like Nginx or Traefik? Or is there a simpler way to set this up without overcomplicating things?

Also, is a docker proxy service *really* necessary for small setups, or is it more for larger, multi-container environments? Would love to hear how y’all handle this.

Thanks in advance!

(PS: If anyone’s got a quick config example, that’d be awesome 👀)
