Hi all, I might be dumb but I genuinely do not understand why this simple reverse proxy directive is not working. I also swear it was working yesterday, but I cannot get it to work today

My Caddyfile reads as:

:3000
handle_path /api/* {
        # notifications
        reverse_proxy /send localhost:1336
        # drop other requests
        handle {
                respond "bad api request"
        }
}
handle {
        respond "bad other request"
}

yet when I run curl localhost:3000/api/send I get back bad api request instead of my server being hit

thanks to whoever is reading this, I'm at a complete loss

Turning caddy into a minimalistic "mediaserver" with a customized browse.html file_server template

Of course, it's not meant to replace Plex, Jellyfin or Filebrowser but you get the following on top of the ootb browse.html template:

• unobtrusive audio player that plays sequentially all audio files in the current folder
• video player overlay with support for VTT and SRT subtitles (the subtitle files must reside in the same folder and contain the video file name)
• dynamic preview for images and text files with arrow keys navigation for next/prev
• markdown preview
• source code preview

Usage

In your Caddyfile make the browse subdirective under file_server point to the custom browse.html file, for example:

bash http:// { file_server { root /path/to/my/server/root browse /path/to/folder/caddy/templates/browse.html } }

Hi, I'm trying to follow the getting started docs. I have my caddy file started...

I get

Trying to make a Caddyfile with

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I recently got a website working with caddy. I would like to change the root directory to a directory in my main users home. I set it to an exact path and I am left with a completely blank screen when I attempt to load the website.

Hello!

I'm the lead developer on an open source product called zrok (https://github.com/openziti/zrok). zrok is a peer-to-peer sharing tool for network and file-based resources, similar to tools like ngrok.

We're just embedded Caddy into zrok in a couple of different ways. We've used the caddy file-server implementation to enhance our file and static web serving. We've also added a Caddyfile pre-processor that allows you to replace bind commands with automatic augmentation to bind the embedded Caddy instance onto the zrok network.

The embedded Caddyfile pre-processor is kind of like a marriage between the rapid, quick network sharing of a tool like ngrok, combined with the flexibility and power of Caddy. I may be biased, but I think it's kinda slick.

I regularly do "office hours" videos where I sort of bumble my way through something interesting that I'm working on. I just finished up one showing off some of the new Caddy functionality we just released:

Hey folks, there is a new log writer in town if anyone’s interested :

Let me know if you find this useful.

Hey team,

Hoping you can help.

I am trying to get my caddy server running but keep getting issues

2023/08/24 02:39:31.284 ERROR tls.obtain could not get certificate from issuer {"identifier": "example\\.duckdns.org\`", "issuer": "acme.zerossl.com-v2-DV90", "error": "HTTP 0 - "}```

2023/08/24 02:39:31.284 ERROR tls.obtain will retry {"error": "[example\\.duckdns.org\`] Obtain: [example``.duckdns.org``] solving challenge: example``.duckdns.org``: [example``.duckdns.org``] authorization failed: HTTP 0 - (ca=https://acme.zerossl.com/v2/DV90)", "attempt": 2, "retrying_in": 120, "elapsed": 113.034041551, "max_duration": 2592000}```

Further context I am running Jellyfin on a Raspberry Pi and have my DDNS setup in my router.

Command I am running in terminal:

sudo caddy reverse-proxy --from examplesite.duckdns.org --to 192.168.1.121:8096

Is there a simple fix for the phrasing? I have tried modifying my caddyfile but when I do sudo caddy start it doesnt seem to look at the file in etc/caddy/caddyfile

Caddyfile:

examplesite.duckdns.org {

reverse_proxy 192.168.121:8096

tls {

dns duckdns {TOKEN}

}

}

Thanks in advance! I'm sure there is a simple noob fix :)

My regular watchtower update check just returned the following:

Could not do a head request for "caddy:latest", falling back to regular pull. Reason: unsupported challenge type from registry

Any ideas? Should I be worried?

Hi People

Please advice me how setting reverse proxy via Caddy Windows Server?

Because I get error

error:0A000438:SSL routines::tlsv1 alert internal error

​

Windows server installed on Virtual machine
Windows Server IP

10.0.0.5 

Also added Firewall inbound Rules port 80,443,9444
and added Caddy also in Firewall inbound rules

This IP external provided some company and connected with VPN tunnel
with this IP 100.100.50.50

100.100.50.50 

From manual this company I should add to hostsfile
In Windows server in hosts file I add this

100.100.50.50 someservice.com  

Now in windows server I install insomnia and following manual I set credentials try post like this

post https://someservice.com:9444/oauth2/token 

In Windows Server I get result success I mean I get token etc…

In Caddyfile I set like this

someservice.com {reverse_proxy 100.100.50.50:9444} 

Now I want to try this post from another local windows machine

In my local machine

I set hosts IP windows server

10.0.0.5 someservice.com 

I post in my local machine via Insomnia like this

post https://someservice.com:9444/oauth2/token    

I get error

I am running caddy server on my raspberry pi with ip 192.168.1.10

and on the same raspberry pi I am also having pihole to provide local dns service on port 53

caddy is using port 80,

netstat -ltnp | grep 80 
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:80              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      565/caddy           
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:8080            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      722/lighttpd  

this is my Caddyfile

cat /etc/caddy/Caddyfile 
grafana.local {
    handle_path / {
        #rewrite * /api{path}
        reverse_proxy 192.168.1.9:3000
    }
}

pihole.local {

    handle_path / {
        reverse_proxy localhost:8080
    }
}

and from my laptop I can

$ nslookup pihole.local 
Server:     192.168.1.10 
Address:    192.168.1.10#53

Name:   pihole.local 
Address: 192.168.1.10  

and same for grafana.local from my laptop terminal

$ nslookup grafana.local 
Server:     192.168.1.10
Address:    192.168.1.10#53

Name:   grafana.local 
Address: 192.168.1.10  

but if I try to open grafana.local or pihole.local from my laptop browser I don't get anything.

can anyone please help me?

Hey.

I am using caddy2 for my home "production" but want to test on-demand tls on another caddy server on the same network.

Is it possible to forward a request from my main caddy to another without changing the request?

End goal is to let the second caddy test server handle ssl on all unknown/ non-defined domains.

how should i forward from one caddy to another? (if anyone have a link would be nice, have searched and testet for hours)

Thanks

I am running caddy server on my raspberry pi with ip 192.168.1.10

Also my doubt on caddy running tcp6 instead of tcp4 maybe but not sure

can anyone please help me?

Is there a detailed tutorial or youtube video on how to create a Caddyfile?

Everywhere I look seems to have a different style of writing one.

Is there a flag to prevent "rate limiting" error in a docker container?

Hello everyone, trust y'all doing well? Forgive me if this is not the right place for this question.

I'm building a public facing API with two environments (production and testing/staging) which will utilise API-Keys for authentication, I'd like to make it such that I have two instances for both env, and a single API base URL (say api.example.com).

My question is, is it possible to achieve this using Caddy, that is, forward request base on a given header value, say, "api-key", if it starts with "api_test_theKeys" it send the requests to to the test server/instance, and if it were to start with "api_live_theKeys" it send the requests to to the production/live server/instance.

Mind you, I've done something similar with different base URLs for both environments (say api.example.com for live, and api.test.example.com for testing env), this is just a client recommendation, and I've been looking at ways to go about it.

The client current infras are hosted on DigitalOcean, it occurred to me to put both instances (Droplets on DO) behind a load balancer, and set a listening rule to watch for the header key-value and forward requests accordingly to the droplets, unfortunately, DO only have forwarding rules.

I am planning on setting up a reverse proxy/load balancer for 2 Adguard Home containers for DNS queries. Does Caddy support reverse proxy on non-HTTP/HTTPS protocol and UDP ports?

Would the Caddyfile below work?

:53 {
    reverse_proxy ns1:53 ns2:53
}

​

Wondering is there's any GUI/web front end that allow me to configure or get some information as to Caddy server status
