Looking to move from Caddy

[confusedpuppy@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Recently it's come to my attention that Caddy has an AI sponsor so I have been looking at moving away from Caddy.

I'm currently looking for another reverse proxy to use in place of Caddy. For TLS I am looking into using CertBot and it appears there's a module (https://github.com/desec-io/certbot-dns-desec) I can use that works for https://desec.io/ to handle my certs.

I have two questions, the first is about CertBot. Since Caddy is handling my certs automatically, how often would I want to renew my certs? Desec.io has this command to obtain a cert:

certbot certonly \
     --authenticator dns-desec \
     --dns-desec-credentials /etc/letsencrypt/secrets/$DOMAIN.ini \
     -d "$DOMAIN" \
     -d "*.$DOMAIN"

Would I be required to run the same command periodically to renew my cert?

My second question is a bit more open ended. I am looking to hear any suggestions or experiences about different reverse proxies that are preferably free of AI. There is a list here with some suggested alternatives:

I use Traefik as my reverse proxy and it deals with my certs automatically.

Keep in mind just because Caddy has an AI sponsor, it doesn't mean they are using ai products, it could be the AI platform is using caddy and gave done the bare minimum of sponsoring the project.
