for quite some time I use newpipe on mobile and freetube on desktop to watch youtube videos... Its not without its problems, but it gets rid of tracking, adds and other nuisance on their sites.
But mostly if I can, I use and support other sites like odysee.com
I use a plain nginx and certbot. Was trying to use traefik, but it lacked some capabilities for serving static content and some specific functions...
I however use traefik in a docker swarm as an ingress and its quite good at that position if you dont need special capabilities like running scripts and serving partially static stuff.
dont know about that... hope not.
Brother is probably the best company regarding open source and support...
Also the refills are not overpriced...
