Docker container fails to start: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon

When running caddy-docker-proxy, you need to mount the Docker socket as a volume, so that CDP can talk to Docker. Please review the readme on the CDP repo for details.

Ah thanks for that hint, overlooked that, as it is only mentioned in the docker-compose and testing section…

Now I used the command

docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 --network caddy -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v caddy_data:/data --restart unless-stopped caddy:latest

and it seems to be working…

What are you trying to do exactly? If this is your first time using Docker, don’t use CDP yet, it’s very much an advanced tool. Just use the regular Caddy mode instead.

I’m trying to run a few containers such as Jellyfin and Collabora, might be a bit overkill but I liked that I can specify the caddy dirctives directly in the docker-compose file… Anyways, it seems to be working now…

Thanks for your help!
