For my frontend reverse proxy, I have Caddy built with the Cloudflare plugin. For backend services, Caddy is configured as a web server so the static binaries suffice for those servers. In rolling out Caddy 2.4.0-RC1, I first attempted to upgrade the frontend. These are the steps I took:

Current Caddy version:(running in a FreeBSD 12.2 jail)

root@caddy:/ # caddy version
v2.4.0-beta.2 h1:DUaK4qtL3T0/gAm0fVVkHgcMN04r4zGpfPUZWHRR8QU=

Because of the issue identified in the thread Unable to build the release version of Caddy (with the Cloudflare plugin), I took a copy of the current build in case I needed to do some regression testing later.

cp /usr/local/bin/caddy /usr/local/www/caddy_2.4.0-b2

I then attempted an in situ upgrade to see if the issue identified in Caddy 2.4.0 beta 1 is now available post #17 had been resolved.

This time, Caddy wasn’t downgraded to 2.3.0, but neither was it upgraded to 2.4.0-RC1. There appeared to be no change to the built Caddy version.

The next step was to attempt a full rebuild. Still no change.

At this stage, it appears I’m unable to build Caddy 2.4.0-RC1 with the Cloudflare module from the source.

You need to specify that version in the xcaddy command. Those commands will attempt to build the latest stable version, or the latest version that meets the requirements of the plugins you need.

Run xcaddy like this:

xcaddy build v2.4.0-rc.1 --output /usr/local/bin --with github.com/caddy-dns/cloudflare
