No certificate with double reverse proxy

1. Caddy version (caddy version):

v2.4.0-beta.1

2. How I run Caddy:

a. System environment:

Debian 10, native

b. Command:

caddy run

c. Service/unit/compose file:

paste full file contents here

d. My complete Caddyfile or JSON config:

Front-end

# Global Option Block

        # General Option
        debug
}

# ACME Server
acme.roadrunner {
        acme_server
        tls internal
}

nextcloud.intrafit.nl {
        reverse_proxy https://nextcloud.roadrunner {
                header_up Host {http.reverse_proxy.upstream.hostport}
                header_up X-Forwarded-Host {host}
        }
}

        reverse_proxy @collabora http://127.0.0.1:9980 {

        }

<nextcloud configuration (working) >

3. The problem I’m having:

This setup is to have a front-end Caddy Reverse Proxy with Let’s Encrypt TLS. On the Back-end there is a 2nd Caddy (native), Nextcloud and Collabora both in Docker containers. Front-end to Back-end are setup with TLS with a local ACME server.

I can access Nextcloud at https://nextcloud.intrafit.nl
Collabora tests successful on the back-end with curl -k localhost:9980 OK
I can reach Collabora on https://nextcloud.intrafit.nl/hosting/capabilities and …/hosting/discovery where I can see that it resoles the correct URL.

<action default="true" ext="sxw" name="view" urlsrc="https://nextcloud.intrafit.nl/loleaflet/44a46d7/loleaflet.html?"/>

When I try to configure Collabora in Nextcloud by providing the Collabora server URL : https://nextcloud.intrafit.nl the Caddy log on the Back-end reports:

2021/02/22 22:29:57.927 DEBUG http.stdlib http: TLS handshake error from 172.20.0.4:47060: no certificate available for 'nextcloud.intrafit.nl

4. Error messages and/or full log output:

5. What I already tried:

I had to add header_up Host "nextcloud.intrafit.nl" in order to have Collabora generate the correct URL for external access.

<action default="true" ext="sxw" name="view" urlsrc="https://nextcloud.intrafit.nl/loleaflet/44a46d7/loleaflet.html?"/>

But I think this is also the cause of the issue as it is skipping nextcloud.roadrunner that has the certificate with the front-end.

6. Links to relevant resources:

https://www.collaboraoffice.com/code/apache-reverse-proxy/

What machine is that? What’s making that request?

That is the Collabora docker container

Okay, so what IP address is nextcloud.intrafit.nl resolving to for the Collabora container? Do you have a DNS server resolving that IP address directly to the backend Caddy instance?

In the docker-compose.yml for Nextcloud and Collabora I included

extra_hosts:
      - "nextcloud.intrafit.nl:192.168.2.51"

Where 192.168.2.51 is the Caddy Back-end.

Then there’s your problem. The backend doesn’t have a certificate to serve for that domain so it won’t work.

Either make it resolve to your frontend so it can resolve it, or have your backend have a certificate issued for that domain (you’d also need to add the CA root cert to your collabora container’s trust store if you go with the second option).

I changed the docker-compose:

extra_hosts:
      - "nextcloud.intrafit.nl:192.168.2.1"

Where 192.168.2.1 is the frontend and that removed the error message in the Caddy log :slight_smile:

Unfortunately I still get no go ahead within Nextcloud and I haven’t seen any other indicators about what goes wrong…

btw, I was wrong the IP address 172.20.0.4 was not the Collabora container but the nextcloud conttainer. I corrected the host resolver accordignly.

Before the DNS fix if I push save I got the above mentioned error:

2021/02/22 22:29:57.927 DEBUG http.stdlib http: TLS handshake error from 172.20.0.4:47060: no certificate available for 'nextcloud.intrafit.nl.

Now the log show this:

edit3: should you wonder; IP 192.168.5.1 is the internet router.

Nevermind the above post. It’s working now. I messed up the DNS config during the troubleshooting.
