Caddy behind http caddy

1. My Caddy version (caddy -version):

1.0.4 (Both Public Caddy/Internal Caddy)

2. How I run Caddy:

Public Caddy (Ubuntu 18.0.4 install via bash) which runs on profile based default caddy.service but with added cloudflare credentials and have been running fine for about a year.

Internal (FreeBSD - Freenas Jail)

a. System environment:

OS, relevant versions, systemd? docker? etc.
Ubuntu 18.0.4 (Public)
Freenas 11.2 U7 (Internal)

b. Command:

paste command here

c. Service/unit/compose file:

d. My complete Caddyfile:

Public

    tls {
        dns cloudflare
    }
    proxy / 192.168.100.6:1000 {

3. The problem I’m having:

Essentially nextcloud was installed via a script which works fine when instance if public facing, so I was hoping to change to just internal http caddy and use my public instance to proxy to.

I can access the instance (nextcloud) completely fine through local network by local ip address but when I tired to access the public domain I am getting error: “404 Site public domain is not served on this interface”

This seem like internal caddy is not allowing access via domain name, is there a way to allow explicit access from a specific domain name? Or have I setup the public instance incorrectly?

The reason for the setup is because the public caddy instance is also running other reverse proxy for other services from different vlans/devices etc. It also allow me to modify the nextcloud system without interfering with other project which is being proxied and served by public instance.

Would it be easier to re-write using apache and my previous of nextcloud works flawless with caddy to proxy through.

4. Error messages and/or full log output:

I don’t see any error message on both the internal/public.

5. What I already tried:

I have tired removing header_upstreams which made the instance not reachable outside the network but for internal just redirect to local address.

6. Links to relevant resources:

I have fixed the issue:

*public domain* {
    tls {
        dns cloudflare
    }
    proxy / 192.168.100.6:2015 {
    websocket
    transparent
    }
}

So if anyone have similar issues, this fixes the issues for me.

Hi,

Can you please describe in details how you solved it?

On danb35’s script, which switches have you used?

I suppose everything goes through the caddy reverse proxy, where you redirect for the other web services you have. Any particular settings on that?

Also, above, I suppose the first one is the caddyfile from the nextcloud jail and the second the one from the caddy proxy one, right?

Many anticipated thanks.

From what I can see, he just added tls off on the internal service to make it run on HTTP.
