Hi Dominic,

Use the --config flag:

caddy run --config /path/to/Caddyfile

Caddy does this automatically, by default. No explicit configuration required: Automatic HTTPS — Caddy Documentation

I know caddy does auto self signed certificate but I run Rocket.Chat and I have an ssl ssl certificate error and I’ve been given advice from Rocket chat Comunity support forum that I need to have a certificate signed by a public CA so my question is how do I configure caddy configuration file to complete this task you just need to point me in the right direction please

What is your current config that gives you the error?

5

For setting up ssl signed by a CA I’m going to use the following guide

I asked the caddy Comunity for more information on the subject as I only wanted to do this once any help would be great

The caddy version is 2.4.2 hope that helps as you did ask

I thought you were misinterpreting.
Caddy issues a Let’s Encrypt or ZeroSSL certificate for public hostnames.
This has been a feature of Caddy since its inception.
Issuance of self-issued certificates is limited to local.

Of course, Caddy will issue a self-signed certificate.

You seem to have something wrong with the configuration.
Please publish a specific Caddyfile etc. here so that we can provide remedial measures.

If you have set your local IP address or host name to Caddy,
change it to an externally referenced domain name.
I haven’t seen your Caddy settings, but maybe that’s all you need to do.

I’ve started a new config because I couldn’t find the default one where would I find the default config file? I’m very new to caddy

10

But I haven’t configured caddy to use new config I plan on doing that tomorrow when I configwcaddy config to you a signed ssl certificate from a ca but I’m more than happy to share it with you
