Caddy

Almost spit out my coffee when I saw Docker and Hugo together! Still, I like the self-contained nature of this with the Python form handling. For anyone that wants a simpler setup: Netlify forms [0] can handle form submissions, 100 per month (per site) on the free tier, just add "netlify" to the form html. I have some sites that use this and I get very little spam. Netlify also gives you a CDN. Caddy [1] is a great webserver and can reverse proxy, serve content, and does automatic SSL. Configuration is pretty easy, although V1 was a little easier. I have it running a Django site right now and probably wouldn't even bother with nginx again. Traefik AND nginx for a static site seems pretty heavy to me. [0]: https://www.netlify.com/products/forms/ [1]: https://caddyserver.com/.

Pods Framework

Have you played with https://pods.io/ ? It does most of what ACF does and also lets you create custom post types through the UI. Curious about your thoughts on that vs ACF Pro and Custom Post Type UI.
