Reverse proxy for web app docker containers

TL;DR version: recommendations as to reverse proxies for web app docker containers please. Emphasis on straightforward/good documentation rather than performance etc.

I am *very* new to web applications, but am trying to teach myself something new (more for the sake of it that anything; no specific projects in mind). There are a few web apps I've used previously without docker containers; right now, I am trying to figure out how to deploy the same apps inside containers. As I understand it, I need a reverse proxy to route traffic to the correct container.

I've had a look at both Apache and Nginx (as the web servers even I had heard of) and also have come across traefik.io, which seems to be designed for docker containers. However, the guides I've found seem to start of simple enough but then take off on a very steep learning curve that is beyond me so far (exhibit A: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-traefik-as-a-reverse-proxy-for-docker-containers-on-ubuntu-16-04 - I did sort of get this one working, but did something wrong on the Let's Encrypt implementation).

Recommendations to help me stop flip flopping between options? Or particular guides/how tos/tutorials that you've found particularly helpful?
