and the post looks nice in the preview pane. -->

d. My complete Caddy config:

Paste your config here, replacing this text.
Use `caddy fmt` to make it readable.
DO NOT REDACT anything except credentials.
LEAVE DOMAIN NAMES INTACT.
Make sure the backticks stay on their own lines.

3. The problem I’m having:

cannot run container, want to run Automatic HTTPS to my domain.

4. Error messages and/or full log output:

Did you read the docs?

You need to have a Caddyfile beside your docker-compose file so that Docker can mount it in the container, so Caddy can actually run.

I got [Error writing Caddyfile: is a directory]

docker-compose might have created a directory called Caddyfile when you first tried to run it. Delete the directory, then create a file instead.
