Should I Be Concerned?

1. The problem I’m having:

I am seeing a few messages in the Caddy log that have me concerned.

2. Error messages and/or full log output:

What? Are you sure? That’s insanely old, I don’t think we ship such a version.

Ah that’s the OPNsense plugin’s version, not Caddy’s version.

Not really enough to go on here to help. Is something not actually working, or are you just going off what you see in logs? It could be an intermittent error due to external factors.

I see these error msgs in the log each day. While access to the website works I am just overly concerned about it.

Most of your help template is blank, so we can’t do much to help you. But there’s likely a bug in the DNS provider plugin you’re using, OR a misconfiguration.

most likely configuration error, this error message is the main example in the docs here that subdomains are needed:

I am really confused by all of this, so let me try and explain my situation.

I just built an Apache web server. It hosts my business website. I would like to setup Caddy to proxy this website, as well as enable both HTTP/2 and HTTP/3.

Would I setup Caddy for DNS-01 authorization, along with a domain(*.petrilloconsulting.net) and subdomain(www)?

Yeah its explained in the next step in the documentation:
