1. The problem I’m having:
I am trying to install Caddy with the Cloudflare DNS plugin. The process I’ve gone through is:
- Installed standard package first as per steps here.
- Downloaded custom build with following command.
curl -o caddy "https://caddyserver.com/api/download?os=linux&arch=amd64&p=github.com%2Fcaddy-dns%2Fcloudflare&idempotency=98480474495547"
- Followed Package support files for custom builds for Debian/Ubuntu/Raspbian steps outlined here to insert the custom caddy build.
- Couldn’t restart the service with final command from above steps.
- Eventually worked out that granting rwx permissions for caddy group to
/usr/bin/caddyallowed the service to run.
2. Error messages and/or full log output:
PASTE OVER THIS, BETWEEN THE ``` LINES.
Sorry I no longer have the exact error but basically permission denied.
3. Caddy version:
v2.7.6 h1:w0NymbG2m9PcvKWsrXO6EEkY9Ru4FJK8uQbYcev1p3A=
4. How I installed and ran Caddy:
a. System environment:
Ubuntu Server 2022.04
x64
systemd
Virtualised in Proxmox
b. Command:
As per above linked instructions.
c. Service/unit/compose file:
GNU nano 6.2 /lib/systemd/system/caddy.service
# caddy.service
#
# For using Caddy with a config file.
#
# Make sure the ExecStart and ExecReload commands are correct
# for your installation.
#
# See https://caddyserver.com/docs/install for instructions.
#
# WARNING: This service does not use the --resume flag, so if you
# use the API to make changes, they will be overwritten by the
# Caddyfile next time the service is restarted. If you intend to
# use Caddy's API to configure it, add the --resume flag to the
# `caddy run` command or use the caddy-api.service file instead.

d. My complete Caddy config:
# 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
# domain name.
:80 {
# Set this path to your site's directory.
root * /usr/share/caddy
# Enable the static file server.
file_server
# Another common task is to set up a reverse proxy:
# reverse_proxy localhost:8080
# Or serve a PHP site through php-fpm:
# php_fastcgi localhost:9000
}
# Refer to the Caddy docs for more information:

I’m a noob with Linux and Caddy. While I appear I’ve fixed it, I expect not. Seeking guidance on issues introduced with my workaround.
