1. Output of caddy version:
v2.6.1 h1:EDqo59TyYWhXQnfde93Mmv4FJfYe00dO60zMiEt+pzo=
2. How I run Caddy:
CLI Putty via SSHiing into server
a. System environment:
linux, Debian 8
b. Command:
sudo service caddy stop
sudo service caddy start
systemctl status caddy.service
d. My complete Caddy config:
`caddy fmt`
# This replaces the existing content in /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
# A CONFIG SECTION FOR YOUR HOSTNAME
foundry.billsiauw.com {
# PROXY ALL REQUEST TO PORT 30000
reverse_proxy localhost:30000
encode zstd gzip
}
# Refer to the Caddy docs for more information:
# https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile
3. The problem I’m having:
I’m trying to use caddy to reverse proxy to the domain mentioned in my caddy file. The issue I’m encountering is that I can’t seem to restart caddy after modifying the caddy file. Running the systemctl status caddy.service command seems to suggest that the port 443 is already being used, but trying to stop caddy via sudo service caddy stop doesn’t seem to help solve this problem
4. Error messages and/or full log output:
Results from running sudo service caddy start or sudo service caddy reload:
Job for caddy.service failed. See 'systemctl status caddy.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

Also, interestingly enough, when I tried verifying my caddyfile via caddy validate, it seems like there is an issue with the file:
Error: decoding config: unexpected end of JSON input
I can’t quite tell what the issue is, and from referencing documentation it seems fine?
5. What I already tried:
I’ve tried restarting and reloading caddy, as well as stopping it before running the commands again, but those don’t quite seem to remedy the issues I have encountered. I was initially using commands without the sudo service prefix, but I came across a post of someone who had a similar issue to me on Debian, and was suggested to use these commands instead. The original poster of that topic was using Cloudflare however, which I am not.

Following through this install guide / tutorial: Install — Caddy Documentation
The post I referenced: Port 443 is already in use?
