Caddyfile configuration for reverse proxies - different behaviours

[francislavoie]

See this article:

The "subfolder problem", OR, "why can't I reverse proxy my app into a subfolder?"

Have you ever tried to reverse proxy an app into its own little subfolder of your domain name? Makes things neat, doesn’t it? Using example.com/foo/ for one app, example.com/bar/ for another. If you’re coming here from one of the selfhosted communities, you might be thinking along the lines of example.com/sonarr/, example.com/radarr/ etc. Chances are, you’ve tried some configuration along these lines: example.com { redir /sonarr /sonarr/ handle_path /sonarr/* { reverse_proxy localhost…

You’d be much better off using a subdomain for each service.

@Olliemon

	route /plex* {
		reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:32400/web
	}

You can’t pass a path as part of the upstream address. If you need to rewrite the path, you need to use the rewrite directive to do that. (But again – just use subdomains)
