In terms of setup, Caddy is a lot simpler in syntax, but you will find more tutorials for Traefik and it has better integration with Docker. You can add labels to a container and Traefik uses that as config, whereas in Caddy, you need to set up both the container and the config file. If you want to drop a service, then it is easier in Traefik for this reason. But with decent Nix code, you can basically replicate this in Caddy. Once you set them up, they’re pretty much the same. I’ve seen some people saying Traefik is faster, but realistically, I don’t think it’s meaningful.

Same. There are some tracks and albums I don’t like, but I won’t delete them. Another reason to use smart playlist, I can just put them into “Not My Style” playlist and it’s magically gone from my main list.

Well, I don’t actually play all of them in a straight line; it’s more of an archive. Still, my main playlist is few thousand songs long, which is created with smart playlists.

Why do I see no mentions of Ampache here? From what I found, it was the only program except Navidrome to support nested smart playlist, and Ampache has the editor directly in the web interface.

Anyways, I host mine too! Over 2TB of music files on my server, and it runs pretty well.
