Caddy Official Docker, Crashes when Updating Caddyfile

[Darryl (Darryl Morley)]

Caddy 2
Official Docker Image

Everytime I edit the Caddyfile found at /etc/Caddyfile the container crashes and has to be removed and replaced. I want to use Caddy as a reverse proxy but have tried an initial simple setup of:

domain
tls myemail

Am I editing the file in the wrong location?

Am I editing the file in the wrong location?

What works for me:

1. Create (or update) a Caddyfile in home folder (I don’t think the actual folder really matters).
2. In same folder run the command caddy reload : this normally changes your configuration to what is specified in the Caddyfile in that folder.

… but I am wondering if your Caddyfile is really correct. Can’t you use a simple example file you can find in the Caddy documentation ?
