Problem with old Kirby 2 Panel rewrites in Caddy v2

Help

I don’t believe try_files accepts a matcher. The syntax is:

try_files <files...>

It’s not a true directive, in the sense that try_files does not directly configure its own specific module. Instead, it’s effectively a kind of common shorthand for a longer snippet of Caddyfile config:

The try_files directive is basically a shortcut for:

@try_files {
	file {
		try_files <files...>
	}
}
rewrite @try_files {http.matchers.file.relative}

—try_files (Caddyfile directive) — Caddy Documentation

So you could use the long-form instead and add a path matcher to @try_files, which would get you what you’re after.

Basically, along the same kind of lines you were getting at here: Problem with old Kirby 2 Panel rewrites in Caddy v2 - #5 by WoofDog

Except, use /panel/* instead of /panel (path matching is exact, as @francislavoie mentioned in the comment immediately following yours). And use {path} {path}/ /panel/index.php?{query} (which you said works) instead of {path} /index.php (which you said doesn’t).
