Caddy seems to be serving wrong certificate when a snippet is enabled on ANOTHER host?

1. The problem I’m having:

I’m trying to use snippets so that I can use my cloudflare origin certificate for sites that will sit behind cloudflare, and use ACME certificates from my ACME server for other sites.

I have got the ACME snippet working with other sites, but when I use the import command to use the snippet I wrote for cloudflare sites with ANOTHER host, a site that doesn’t have this import statement suddenly starts using the wrong certificate, causing errors as the cloudflare origin CA isn’t trusted by my browser!

2. Error messages and/or full log output:

I’ve managed to solve it by just removing various parts of the config until it worked properly again. It seems like I’ve just added the exact same config back in again, and it works fine which is odd, but no odd errors so I’m not complaining!

FYI you can simplify this by using these plugins: GitHub - tuzzmaniandevil/caddy-dynamic-clientip: http.matchers.dynamic_client_ip matches requests by the client IP address, the ip addresses to match against is provided my a module that implements IPRangeSource and GitHub - WeidiDeng/caddy-cloudflare-ip, so you can do @not-cloudflare not dynamic_client_ip cloudflare

You can delete this, it’s redundant to re-state the defaults for these options.
