Docker & Databases. Stack or Individual? - selfhosted - kbin.social

So I'm in the process of (re-) setting up my homelab and unsure about how to handle databases. Many images require a database, which the docker-compose usually provides inside the stack....

Mooching off this other post

Primary question: What do people do for their reverse proxies (and associated ACME clients)? Do you have a single unified one? Or do you use separate proxies for each stack? Or some mess in between?

My use case question: For example, I have a (mess that is a) Nextcloud instance with a separate stack with nginx and ACME, a SearXng that wants to run caddy (but has shoved into the nginx).

But now I have a Lemmy docker that has a custom(?) nginx instance, should I just port it to my existing nginx or run them side by side?

Oh this look great, thanks!

So there is no port forwarding needed? Works behind CG-NAT?

No port forwarding needed and works behind CG-NAT—assuming your DNS server is hosted elsewhere.
