1. The problem I’m having:
After switching my domains from Gandi to Infomaniak I’ve look to use the Infomaniak plugin.
This one is not present in Download Caddy, so I’ve used xcaddy
to build a custom caddy binary with infomaniak plugin, like following:
xcaddy build --with github.com/caddy-dns/infomaniak
I used ansible with GitHub - caddy-ansible/caddy-ansible: Ansible role for installing and configuring the Caddy web server to install caddy. When I’ve use Gandi, it was working fine. But since I’ve changed the binary to my custom one, I’ve got permission errors but not sure how to look to understand why.
I did small changes of the ansible role, but didn’t change permissions part Comparing caddy-ansible:master...nicolas-brousse:allow-custom-package-url · caddy-ansible/caddy-ansible · GitHub.
