noob-proof reverse proxy with auth (lemmy.world)

I am in self hosting for a bit now, have an unraid server and a bunch of services running. Now I want to expose some services through a reverse proxy, but with authentication, preferably google oauth2. I've tried a lot of things, Authentik, Authelia, NPM, and so on. I found everything way to complicated. What I liked the most until now is Caddy with the greenpau/caddy-security module. Very easy config through the caddyfile.... Though the module has to be manually installed after every update of the caddy docker container, thats kind of a turn of for me, since everything else on my server is almost maintainance-free.

You have any suggestions?

.... also this is my first post on lemmy, since I migrated from reddit. ;)

To follow up on this: I now use a combination of caddy as reverse proxy and authelia for authentication. In my opinion caddy is the best reverse proxy, it's super lightweight and the caddyfiles are super easy to read. Authelia is surprisingly easy to get setup. I was a bit hesitant because it looked a little overwhelming in the beginning. When you sit down for half a day and dig into it, it's really surprisingly straightforward.
