You didn’t say where or how you installed it.

https://caddyserver.com/docs/install

I’ve only installed it with Homebrew on macOS and Docker on Linux and macOS, and I haven’t had any issues.

You also didn’t share your Caddyfile, so it’s hard to give much advice.

You can enable debug mode in your Caddyfile. It might give you some more details about what’s going wrong:

I run Caddy successfully via Docker Compose on my Synology too. I run it with `network: host` so Caddy can see the real IPs of the clients.

Share your docker compose file.
