# The Caddyfile is an easy way to configure your Caddy web server.

# Unless the file starts with a global options block, the first
# uncommented line is always the address of your site.
#
# To use your own domain name (with automatic HTTPS), first make
# sure your domain's A/AAAA DNS records are properly pointed to
# this machine's public IP, then replace ":80" below with your

3. The problem I’m having:

I am trying to get the security and authorization to work on my organizr setup. No matter what I do I cannot get it to run. I get the same ‘authorization not recognized’ error every time. I am starting to think there’s something wrong with organizr’s code. I unfortunately do not know how to code well so I pretty much just copy + pasted it

4. Error messages and/or full log output:

5. What I already tried:

Honestly I probably haven’t tried much. I’m dyslexic and it took me literally all day to realized I hadn’t install the security module correctly. I’m still not 100% sure I did. The documentation on organizr is terrible. All I want to do is get this working so I can control my server when I leave the house. My guess is I missed something obvious, but at this point I really don’t know where to go. I am very new to this

Directives in Caddy must go inside site blocks. They cannot go at the top-level. See the Caddyfile concepts docs to understand how it’s structured:

You should remove the default :80 site at the top of your config, that’s only there to show a default page when you first install Caddy, and it’s meant to be removed when you set up your own stuff.

For help with caddy-security itself, you’ll get better help from its GitHub repo which is where its author spends his time answering questions.
