[anon70754465]

1. Caddy version (caddy version):

2.4.6

2. How I run Caddy:

with docker as always

a. System environment:

docker linux

b. Command:

c. Service/unit/compose file:

d. My complete Caddyfile or JSON config:

https://example.tld {
 reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:8080 {
  transport http {
     tls_insecure_skip_verify
    }
  }
}

3. The problem I’m having:

i want to specify to caddy to use https for my application that is not using http by default.

4. Error messages and/or full log output:

5. What I already tried:

this config in my Caddyfile but aren’t sure if it’s the good way for it.

You haven’t actually used either of the two ways to tell Caddy to use TLS.

Either use https:// in front of the upstream address, or add the tls http transport option.

using only https:// in front of the upstream address gives me the error that i have been able to fix with the configuration showed previously.

Client sent an HTTP request to an HTTPS server.

What’s your full config at this point? You may have misunderstood what I meant, so please share the actual config you tried.

The “upstream address” is 127.0.0.1:8080.

I’m saying you should use https://127.0.0.1:8080

OR

Add the tls option inside of transport http (not the same as tls_insecure_skip_verify, it’s another distinct option).
