I'm looking into setting up https for my local services. Everything is currently set up using the official caddy docker image.

I want to use now connect caddy to cloudflare to resolve the DNS 01. It looks like this is possible with a drop in replacement for caddy from either https://github.com/CaddyBuilds/caddy-cloudflare or https://github.com/serfriz/caddy-custom-builds

Is anyone here using these builds? Are they reliable? Is there an alternative I havent considered?

This is basically the dockerfile these projects provide, so I guess I could do this myself. How do you keep the caddy container up to date? I have tugtainer (something like watchtower) update caddy automatically, but I guess this set up would break that

Does tugtainer (always makes me giggle) have to ability to label containers for exclusion like watchtower does?

I can't help you with automation. I update my containers manually, whenever I think to do it. Nothing is accessible outside my network so I'm not worried about staying on top of security updates.
