Help with replacing common_log format

[ducky (Roger Duckworth)]

Current Caddyfile.
Caddy Version 2.4.6

I’m quite confused trying to figure out how to switch to this new formatting plugin. The syntax is different than what I’m used to. If someone could help me switch I’d appreciate it as I use this common log to hook into my fail2ban setup.

email dubu@bub.cat

}

www.a.bub.cat {
redir https://a.bub.cat
}

a.bub.cat {
reverse_proxy localhost:50694
log {
output file /var/log/caddy/void.log
format single_field common_log
}
encode {
gzip 6
br 5
}
import security.conf
handle_errors {
rewrite * /{http.error.status_code}
reverse_proxy https://http.cat {
header_up Host http.cat
}
}
}

Assuming you have a caddy build with GitHub - caddyserver/transform-encoder: Log encoder module for custom log formats included, you can do the following:

    log {
        output file /var/log/caddy/void.log
-       format single_field common_log
+       format transform "{common_log}"
    }

Taken from the modules’ README: transform-encoder#apache-common-log-format-example [permalink]

You should use that plugin with v2.5.0-beta.1, it’s meant to be used with that version (or later), not with v2.4.6
