PHP FPM status page in Caddy 2

[manavo (Phil Manavopoulos)]

1. Caddy version (caddy version):

v2.3.0 h1:fnrqJLa3G5vfxcxmOH/+kJOcunPLhSBnjgIvjXV/QTA=

2. How I run Caddy:

a. System environment:

Ubuntu 20.04, default systemd config of Caddy when installing through apt

b. Command:

sudo service caddy start

c. Service/unit/compose file:

# caddy.service
#
# For using Caddy with a config file.
#
# Make sure the ExecStart and ExecReload commands are correct
# for your installation.
#
# See https://caddyserver.com/docs/install for instructions.
#
# WARNING: This service does not use the --resume flag, so if you
# use the API to make changes, they will be overwritten by the
# Caddyfile next time the service is restarted. If you intend to
# use Caddy's API to configure it, add the --resume flag to the
# `caddy run` command or use the caddy-api.service file instead.

d. My complete Caddyfile or JSON config:

:8888 {
        php_fastcgi /fpm_status unix//var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock {
                env SCRIPT_NAME /fpm_status
        }
}

3. The problem I’m having:

I’m trying to get the PHP FPM status page to load, but can’t quite work it out. Searching here for past questions, they’re all referencing Caddy 1 (Enable php-fpm status page or [solved] Php-fpm status page won't load) (which I hadn’t ever used), and can’t quite work out how to adjust it to work with Caddy 2.

I have this Nginx snippet that works:

server {
  listen localhost:8888;
  server_name 127.0.0.1 localhost;

  location ~ ^/(fpm_status)$ {
    access_log off;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    allow 127.0.0.1;
    deny all;
    include fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
  }
}

But can’t quite work out how to translate it

4. Error messages and/or full log output:

Nothing in the logs that I can see, errors or not

5. What I already tried:

I’ve tried playing around with the path, env variables, all kinds of random changes, but I always just get a happy 200 from Caddy

6. Links to relevant resources:

Enable php-fpm status page

I have been using caddy for some months on a couple of low traffic sites to try it out and had no problems I’ve noticed until today: I am now setting up a very simple web server which will only serve jpeg images. Images or metadata are requested in various ways which are handled by a simple PHP framework. As it is (apparently) simple I have assumed a fairly low-spec virtual server can handle it but it is running into problems with a test request for 150 images at once. However I tweak php-fpm,…

Hmm. I’ve never tried to serve the FPM status page so I’m not certain how that should work.

What I can say though, is that the php_fastcgi directive is meant as a shortcut, and has a bunch of built-in redirects which may mess with whatever you’d need for it to work. See the expanded form:

php_fastcgi (Caddyfile directive) - Caddy Documentation

So maybe what you need is to use the reverse_proxy directive with the fastcgi transport directly:

reverse_proxy unix//var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock {
	transport fastcgi {
		env SCRIPT_NAME /fpm_status
	}
}
