I guess it saves you the hassle of dealing with reverse proxies and TLS certs if your use case is "userbase is 1 person and it is me, and i only access services from a desktop os"

Ever since I started using Caddy, doing that has been soooo easy.

Download the binary, make a Caddyfile

  myservice.example.com {
   basic_auth {
    admin some_password_hash_here
   }
   reverse_proxy :3000
  }
