Serve SPA nuxt from / and laravel api from /api

1. Caddy version (caddy version):

v2.2.0 h1:sMUFqTbVIRlmA8NkFnNt9l7s0e+0gw+7GPIrhty905A=

2. How I run Caddy:

locally for development

a. System environment:

$  uname -a
Linux pc10e748 5.4.0-48-generic #52-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 10 10:58:49 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$  cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=20.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=focal
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS"

b. Command:

sudo ./caddy start

d. My complete Caddyfile or JSON config:

*.wave-web.test {
        tls /home/hafiz/projects/wave/web/keys/wave-certificate.pem /home/hafiz/projects/wave/web/keys/wave-key.pem
        log {
                output file ./wave.log
                level warn
        }
        reverse_proxy localhost:3100
        encode gzip
        file_server

        php_fastcgi /api/* unix//run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock {
                root /home/hafiz/projects/wave/api/public
        }

3. The problem I’m having:

I would like to serve Nuxt ran with npm run dev at https://localhost:3100 that is accessible from https://abc.wave-web.test. And a Laravel api at /home/hafiz/projects/wave/api/public accessible starting with https://abc.wave-web.test/api

I have the following in nuxt.config.js to enable https. The location of the key and cert is the same as in the Caddyfile.

  server: {
    https: {
      key: fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, 'keys/wave-key.pem')),
      cert: fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, 'keys/wave-certificate.pem'))
    },
    host: 'wave-web.test',
    port: 3100
  }

I also have the following in /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 abc.wave-web.test

4. Error messages and/or full log output:

I am getting a 502 error with blank page when I visit https://abc.wave-web.test

I can access https://localhost:3100, but not https://abc.wave-web.test

Valid configuration

I think what you want is something more like this:

*.wave-web.test {
	tls cert.pem key.pem
	log {
		output file ./wave.log
		level warn
	}

	encode gzip

	handle /api* {
		root * /home/hafiz/projects/wave/api/public
		php_fastcgi unix//run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock
		file_server
	}

	reverse_proxy localhost:3100
}

The problem you were encountering is that the Caddyfile adapter will sort the directives based on a pre-determined order, which you can find here:

Specifically, php_fastcgi is sorted after reverse_proxy, so it will always take precedence, unless you override the order with route.

Instead, since the Laravel app is a single unit, we can use a handle directive to collect the directives relevant to that app together. The handle directive is ordered higher than reverse_proxy, so it will be matched first.

Requests that don’t match the /api* path matcher will fall through to the reverse_proxy.

Also note that file_server also needs to know what the site root, so using the root directive, rather than the root subdirective of php_fastcgi, sets the root variable for both of them, rather than just the one.
