Porting nginx config to Caddy

[Whitestrake (Matthew Fay)]

This is all super simple to translate. Going from top to bottom:

@Fastidious

    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    server_name example.com;

Site label example.com. Prefix with http:// if you want no HTTPS (this nginx config does not serve HTTPS).

@Fastidious

    gzip on;
    gzip_types
      application/javascript
      application/x-javascript
      application/json
      application/rss+xml
      application/xml
      image/svg+xml
      image/x-icon
      application/vnd.ms-fontobject
      application/font-sfnt
      text/css
      text/plain;
    gzip_min_length 256;
    gzip_comp_level 5;
    gzip_http_version 1.1;
    gzip_vary on;

Use gzip

@Fastidious

    location ~ ^/.well-known/(webfinger|nodeinfo|host-meta) {
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
        proxy_redirect off;
    }

Transparent proxies. There’s no regex to select for proxy from path, so you’ll need to enumerate them

proxy /.well-known/webfinger http://127.0.0.1:8080 {
  transparent
}
proxy /.well-known/nodeinfo http://127.0.0.1:8080 {
  transparent
}
proxy /.well-known/host-meta http://127.0.0.1:8080 {
  transparent
}

@Fastidious

    location ~ ^/(css|img|js|fonts)/ {
        root /var/www/example.com/static;
        # Optionally cache these files in the browser:
        # expires 12M;
    }

Set the site root, root /var/www/example.com/static

@Fastidious

    location / {
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
        proxy_redirect off;
    }

Catch-all transparent proxy

proxy / http://127.0.0.1:8080 {
  transparent
}
