Caddy reverse proxy working but not HTTPS

[Elroy_Paisley]

1. Caddy version (caddy version):

most recent

2. How I run Caddy:

as a service

a. System environment:

Ubuntu 18

b. Command:

c. Service/unit/compose file:

paste full file contents here

d. My complete Caddyfile or JSON config:

http://whatup.ga    {

reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:8096

}

3. The problem I’m having:

Redirect to the port happens but NOT secured.

4. Error messages and/or full log output:

5. What I already tried:

I’ve had Caddy working great for reverse proxy and SSL for a long time. Today I did a sudo apt upgrade to get the server up to date. Everything seems to be working except now there’s no SSL.

Well, you did put http:// in front of your domain, so of course it won’t serve HTTPS!

You know what’s worse than making such a silly mistake? I’ve made it and posted about it before. If I were you, I’d ban me.

It’s actually your 3rd time, one in each of the threads you’ve posted

Yep, just remove http:// from the front and you should be done. Just as a note for next time; this is exactly why redacting parts of your config or modifying it before posting it on the forums is always a mistake. We went in circles a few times because we didn’t have evidence of the issue because you didn’t post your exact config.

Thanks for sharing the solution! Indeed, specifying http:// means that Caddy will do what you say, and serve only HTTP, not HTTPS. https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/concepts#addresses

But no worries, hopefully you’ve fixed it once and for all.
