Reverse Proxy with multiple subdomain

Help
1

My Caddy version (caddy version):v2.0.0-rc.3

Hi, new user here. I’m trying to do multiple reverse proxy with subdomains. I’m able to get reverse proxy working with single IP but I can’t figure how to do it for multiple subdomain.

What I want is

subdomain1.example.com reverse_proxy to 10.0.0.1
subdomain2.example.com reverse_proxy to 10.0.0.2

This caddy file not working, caddy status has no errors, but I can’t access https://subdomain1.example.com

example.com {
reverse_proxy subdomain1.example.com 192.168.1.99:8888
reverse_proxy subdomain2.example.com 192.168.1.99:8889
}

If I use single reverse proxy, I can access via https://example.com
example.com {
  reverse_proxy 192.168.1.99:8888
}

You’re looking for something like this:

subdomain1.example.com {
    reverse_proxy 192.168.1.99:8888
}

subdomain2.example.com {
    reverse_proxy 192.168.1.99:8889
}

With your Caddyfile, it was parsed as subdomain1.example.com and 192.168.1.99:8888 being separate proxy upstreams, which is why you got no error. You would get 50% of your requests working (using the default round robin load balancing policy), and the other half trying to load the subdomain but since that doesn’t serve anything, it would fail.

The only valid entries for the matcher argument are *, a path starting with / or a named matcher starting with @. See the matcher docs here:

Also, you can review the Caddyfile Concepts document which explains how the Caddyfile works:

Thanks for the reply. I tried that before, but I’m still unable to access.

    Caddy
    test.example.com {
    reverse_proxy 192.168.1.99:8888
    }

    testone.example.com {
    reverse_proxy 192.168.1.98:8889
    }

Ok, I got it figured out, the A Record was not setup properly. It is working now, thanks.
