Idea: A "Dockge-style" Reverse Proxy Manager for Caddy or Traefik?

Hi Louis and the Dockge team, First of all, thank you for creating Dockge! I’ve been using it extensively in my homelab, and I really appreciate its philosophy: — transparency (you always see the actual docker-compose.yml), — simplicity (no hidden abstractions), — and immediate feedback (logs, status, and editing in one place). This approach makes managing containers incredibly intuitive — especially for users who want control without complexity. Recently, I’ve been thinking: what if we applied the same philosophy to reverse proxy management? Right now, many of us use tools like: - Nginx Proxy Manager (GUI, but hides the actual config), - manual Caddyfile editing (powerful, but lacks visual feedback), - or Traefik with labels (great for automation, but less transparent). But there’s a gap: no tool offers the "Dockge experience" for reverse proxies — i.e.: - Each route/service as a separate, human-readable config file (e.g., app1.conf), - A clean web UI to edit, save, and reload that config, - Per-service logs shown right next to the editor, - And isolation: if one route is misconfigured, it doesn’t break the entire proxy. Both Caddy (with import *.conf + caddy reload) and Traefik (with dynamic providers) support safe, modular reloading — making this idea technically feasible. For example, a Caddyfile could look like: caddy import routes/*.conf And routes/app1.conf: caddy yourname.keenetic.link { handle /app1/* { reverse_proxy http://192.168.1.101:3000 } log { output file /logs/app1.log } } This is as self-contained and readable as a docker-compose.yml file — and fits perfectly into the Dockge mindset. I understand this would be a new project (or major expansion), but I believe many in the homelab community would benefit from such a tool — especially those who already trust Dockge for container management. Would you be open to exploring this idea? Even as a separate but "Dockge-inspired" project? I’d be happy to help test, document, or contribute in any small way. Thanks again for your great work — Dockge has genuinely made my setup cleaner and more maintainable! Best regards, Lincooln.
