qBittorrent Subdirectory

1. Output of caddy version:

2.6.1

2. How I run Caddy:

docker container with docker compose, completely new as of 8 hours ago, i’m running jellyfin through caddy perfectly fine it seems so I think it’s definitely the caddyfile

a. System environment:

Ubuntu Server w/ Docker 20.10.18

b. Command:

sudo docker compose up -d

c. Service/unit/compose file:

services:

  caddy:
    image: caddy
    container_name: caddy
    hostname: caddy
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "443:443"
      - "8096:8096"
    environment:
      - ruanf.ddns.net
    volumes:
      - ./Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile
      - ./data:/data
      - ./config:/config

networks:
  default:
    name: caddy_net
    external: true

d. My complete Caddy config:

{
    # acme_ca https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
}

ruanf.ddns.net {
    redir                 /jellyfin                 /jellyfin/
    reverse_proxy /jellyfin/*             192.168.1.30:8096
    redir                 /qbt                      /qbt/
    reverse_proxy /qbt/                    192.168.1.30:8080
    {
        header_up Host 192.168.1.30:8080
        header_up  X-Forwarded-Host {hostport}
        header_up -Origin
        header_up -Referer
    }
}

3. The problem I’m having:

I’m trying to access qbittorrent through a subdirectory since i’m using a ddns domain. I can’t access the website with the error Not Found or a blank page.

4. Error messages and/or full log output:

5. What I already tried:

I’ve looked at these threads but the config doesn’t really help, since some are from V1, or others I literally am using the config from but with worse results.

Side note: is there a reason I can’t use container names and their ports instead of the local ip as it seems as if it’d make it slightly more resistant even though I do have the ip for the server reserved?

in answer above

I haven’t touched WebUI settings as there isn’t much documentation on what settings to change.

You’re using some pretty strange syntax there. Also you need to use a * for the qbt proxy matcher. I also don’t think you need any of the header_up lines. Try this instead:

ruanf.ddns.net {
    redir /jellyfin /jellyfin/
    reverse_proxy /jellyfin/* 192.168.1.30:8096

    redir /qbt /qbt/
    reverse_proxy /qbt/* 192.168.1.30:8080
}

Are all your containers in the same Docker network? That should work just fine. Make sure the other containers are not using host networking.

They’re all in caddy_net, the external directory managed by caddy or at least I think it is.

Would this work without the GitHub - lucaslorentz/caddy-docker-proxy: Caddy as a reverse proxy for Docker module?

I’m not sure I understand the question. I don’t see you using CDP in your original post. So I’m not sure what you mean by “this”.

Yes, obviously you can use Caddy as a proxy without CDP (or even without Docker). The point of CDP is to auto-configure Caddy based on Docker labels. If you’re writing your own Caddyfile and are happy doing that, you don’t need CDP.

I meant does using container hostnames to route traffic without CDP work? It currently isn’t so that’s why I’m wondering what I’m doing wrong.

Yes, absolutely. That’s a Docker thing. Docker has a built-in DNS resolver that maps container names to container IPs in their network.
