Hi All,
I first heard about Caddy in November 2015 - when young Matt Holt was even younger!
Way back then there was a thing called caddyext to build caddy + plugins/middleware.
I don’t see that anymore at Caddy · GitHub so how would I build caddy from source along with GitHub - wmark/http.upload: 📤 Upload files to your web server using HTTP Methods?
Thanks for any pointers!
Hey, long time no see!
Just put an import in run.go:
_ "github.com/user/plugin"
From: https://github.com/mholt/caddy/wiki/Extending-Caddy#2-plug-in-your-plugin
Hey Matt,
So put that in run.go and do
go get -u github.com/mholt/caddy/caddy
That’s it?
No, run go build. If you’re not in main.go’s directory, you can do: go build github.com/mholt/caddy/caddy. It plops a binary right there.
If you want proper version information (recommended), use ./build.bash.
So I was able to have caddy.upload build successfully back in May. Since then, I don’t know what’s changed.
Here’s some context lines around caddymain/run.go:
32 "github.com/mholt/caddy"
33 // plug in the HTTP server type
34 _ "github.com/mholt/caddy/caddyhttp"
35
36 "github.com/mholt/caddy/caddytls"
37 // This is where other plugins get plugged in (imported)
38 _ "blitznote.com/src/caddy.upload"
39 )
Then I run go run build.go at ~/bin/gopath/src/github.com/mholt/caddy/caddy
% echo $GOPATH
/home/jungle/bin/gopath
Am I doing something wrong?
I’ve deleted caddy related files and subdirectories out from my gopath, along with the caddy.upload to have a fresh start. Then added the _ import line from above back in, but I have the same results:
% sudo caddy -conf /usr/local/www/Caddyfile
Activating privacy features... done.
2017/11/12 14:15:02 no action found for directive 'upload' with server type 'http' (missing a plugin?)
I’m also referencing this page:
https://github.com/mholt/caddy/wiki/Plugging-in-Plugins-Yourself
Everything I said above is true and correct. Everything above also works correctly!
My problem was with the caddy I was actually ‘calling’ when starting.
What a silly mistake!
@jungle-boogie assuming this is a new HTTP plugin and new Caddyfile directive. Then you also need to add your new directive into caddy/caddyhttp/httpserver/plugin.go by adding it to var directives You could drop it in at the bottom of the list.
