DNS challenge failing with SERVFAIL for Caddy with Cloudflare module

1. Caddy version (caddy version): v2.5.1

2. How I run Caddy: Through docker container compiled with cloudflare module, available at GitHub Packages & Docker Hub. Dockerfile & source repo available here.

a. System environment:

Docker container. Host OS & System: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

b. Command:

docker compose up -d
docker container logs -t -f caddy

c. Service/unit/compose file:

version: '3'
services:
  caddy:
    image: 'roxonic/caddy:2.5.1'
    container_name: caddy
    environment:
      CF_API_EMAIL: "mail@example.com"
      CF_API_TOKEN: "Secret_Token"
    volumes:
      - ./Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile
      - ./sites:/srv
      - ./data:/data
      - ./config:/config
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
    networks:
      dockernet-bridge:
         ipv4_address: 172.20.11.1
      dockernet-ipvlan:
         ipv4_address: 172.20.1.1
    dns:
      - 172.20.11.0
    restart: always

networks:
  dockernet-bridge:
    external: true
  dockernet-ipvlan:
    external: true

d. My complete Caddyfile or JSON config:

{
	email {env.CF_API_EMAIL}
	acme_dns cloudflare {env.CF_API_TOKEN}

	servers :443 {
		protocol {
			experimental_http3
		}
	}
}


*.roxonic.net {

	@smokeping host smokeping.roxonic.net
	handle @smokeping {
		reverse_proxy 172.20.1.8:80
	}

	# Fallback for otherwise unhandled domains
	handle {
		abort
	}
}

3. The problem I’m having:

Caddy is failing to obtain a certificate from either LetsEncrypt or ZeroSSL. Here are some interesting things that I’ve observed:

  1. Caddy is able to access my zone through the API credentials successfully. How I know this? Because right after starting the caddy container, I can see that my token was used by caddy on the API tokens page as it shows Last used: a few seconds ago.

  2. Caddy can also add the acme TXT record just fine. Whenever I start the container, I can see multiple logs showing the DNS record was created, and then 3 to 4 seconds later it gets deleted. This can be seen from the audit logs section of cloudflare dashboard (under manage account).

4. Error messages and/or full log output:

5. What I already tried:

Don’t know what I’m missing but I’ve tried a lot, starting from recreating token to rebuilding the image, trying with other domains (*.roxonic.com), replacing environment variable in caddyfile with actual values, changing DNS resolver for the container manually… none worked so far.

6. Links to relevant resources: DNS challenge failing with SERVFAIL for Caddy with Cloudflare module DNS challenge failing with SERVFAIL for Caddy with Cloudflare module

Can anybody help me with this?

This problem is almost/entirely similar to this thread.

Did you try to configure resolvers to 1.1.1.1 in your Caddyfile?

tls {
	dns cloudflare {env.CF_API_TOKEN}
	resolvers 1.1.1.1
}

If that doesn’t work, you can try turning off propagation checks altogether (since it’s really just Caddy trying to verify that writing the TXT record worked before moving on, but it’s not required to check).

tls {
	issuer acme {
		dns cloudflare {env.CF_API_TOKEN}
		propagation_timeout -1
	}
	issuer zerossl {
		dns cloudflare {env.CF_API_TOKEN}
		propagation_timeout -1
	}
}

(you’d need to configure both issuers to keep issuer fallback, since propagation_timeout can only be configured under issuer)

Okay, after tinkeing with the Caddyfile for an hour, here’s what I’ve found:

Setting resolvers to 1.1.1.1 doesn’t change anything. It still shows me the same SERVFAIL as can be seen in the above logs.

Setting the propagation_timeout to -1 gives me a very weird result:

{"level":"error","ts":1654037808.8948798,"logger":"tls.obtain","msg":"could not get certificate from issuer","identifier":"*.roxonic.net","issuer":"acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org-directory","error":"HTTP 403 urn:ietf:params:acme:error:unauthorized - No TXT record found at _acme-challenge.roxonic.net"}

But while restarting/recreating the conatiner multiple times, only once the ZeroSSL verification went through. LetsEncrypt said the exact same thing: ..... No TXT record found at _acme-challenge.roxonic.net

I don’t know why I did this, but I thought of setting tls config like this:

tls {
	issuer acme {
		dns cloudflare {env.CF_API_TOKEN}
		propagation_delay 60s
		propagation_timeout -1
	}
	issuer zerossl {
		dns cloudflare {env.CF_API_TOKEN}
		propagation_delay 60s
		propagation_timeout -1
	}
}

I am not even sure if this is a logically correct config or if it makes any sense, but this did the trick (atleast for me). I was successfully able to get LetsEncrypt certificates.

Thanks @francislavoie for giving me the hints with your reply.
