When I enter icolostrum.ga the web brwser will switch to icolostrum.ga:8081 and it reports proxy firewall problem

If it’s just a basic site you might want to try this;

Maybe you also want to try without a reverse proxy first to make sure the site is working externally. Something like this first to start with;

icolostrum.ga {
	root * /var/www/icolostrum.ga
	php_fastcgi 127.0.0.1:8082
	encode zstd gzip
	file_server
}

or…

icolostrum.ga {
	reverse_proxy 192.168.1.59:8081
	encode zstd gzip
	file_server
}

www.icolostrum.ga {
  redir https://icolostrum.ga{uri}
}

…

Don’t forget to restart your caddy service after saving that file. If you are running wordpress you would need the php_fastcgi service in there too assuming you have php installed.

thank you zen

I do not have PHP installed , I`m running Wordpress in docker on the same machine as Caddy.

[anon84660212]

ah in that case you won’t need php if you using docker. Your web server is responding externally. When accessing your domain I get a SSL error so it’s live to the outside for sure. I also get this;

Check your syslog on your server with caddy installed. Might give some indication of where it’s failing. I think it’s just the SSL cert part.

[DIY_Basement]

the log is advising me to add TLS config, and I have no idea what it is so will have to check documentation on that

[anon84660212]

Is there a reason for using docker at all and not just a native web service without docker? It’s a pain in the a55 I hate it when it doesn’t work. Can you open 8081 on your firewall for a sec? see if it’s accessible when the ports opened?

That log looks fine and it’s getting a cert issued.

I`m amateur Linux user, the docker gives my opportunity to remove container and start from scratch.
I took me several iterations to figure our my_sql for Wordpress. Also I can run multiple sites/containers on different port.

[anon84660212]

Docker is just another layer of complexity but I know where you are coming from I always try to use Linux natively without any fancy addons. Seems to be less issues that way.

port opened and works
http://73.181.52.166:8081/

thank you zen for checking and your help, I will try reinstalling CADDY , maybe remove certificates somehow and restart to trigger new certificates and if not will try NGINX Proxy

[anon84660212]

I think WordPress needs some rewrite rules in the caddy file as well though. Maybe;

# Prevent malicious PHP uploads from running
@uploads {
  path_regexp path /uploads\/(.*)\.php
}
rewrite @uploads /

@wp-admin {
  path  not ^\/wp-admin/*
}
rewrite @wp-admin {path}/index.php?{query}
file_server

[DIY_Basement]

will look into it

Someone running caddy here with docker/wordpress;

Caddy V2 with Wordpress (both in docker)

How are you running WordPress? The image variant you’re using matters here. If you’re running a variant that has a web server built in (like Apache) then a reverse proxy will work fine. If you’re running the variant that uses php-fpm, then you’ll need to use php_fastcgi, and for that to work, Caddy will need to share a volume with the WordPress container’s webroot so that Caddy can read the PHP files to execute.

thank you, there is some config inside Wodpress and when you go through initial setup of Wordpress using local IP it will not pick up / repond to a domain call.

Will try to reinstall the wordpress docker
