Trying to convert Caddyfile v1 to v2 : errors handler with an HTML page

Help
1

1. Caddy version (caddy version):

(devel)

2. How I run Caddy:

systemctl start caddy

a. System environment:

Archlinux ARM. Package from AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/caddy2/

b. Command:

systemctl start caddy

c. Service/unit/compose file:

d. My complete Caddyfile or JSON config:

http://torrent.local {
        root * /var/lib/caddy/web-wol
        file_server
        reverse_proxy / [fe80::7ae3:b5ff:fe92:84ed]:3000
        reverse_proxy /poweron [::1]:8888
}

3. The problem I’m having:

I’m trying to display a custom HTML page when there is a 502 HTTP error but I can’t find this functionality on Caddy v2.

Here is my Caddyfile v1:

http://torrent.local {
        root /var/lib/caddy/web-wol
        errors {
                502 502.html
        }
        proxy / [fe80::7ae3:b5ff:fe92:84ed]:3000 {
                timeout 5s
                try_duration 5s
                transparent
        }
        proxy /poweron [::1]:8888
}

4. Error messages and/or full log output:

5. What I already tried:

I tried to find an http.matchers for status code and make it so it display my custom HTML page when there is a 502 HTTP error but I didn’t find that in the docs.

In Caddy v2, path matching is exact match. This means that /poweron will only match requests to /poweron but not /poweron/foo. Instead, you need to append a * to the path to match the rest. This is described in the upgrade guide:

You should also omit the / from your first reverse_proxy for the same reason. If your remove it, it defaults to * which matches all paths.

Currently, handling errors is a bit tricky. We have plans to improve that soon. For now, this should do what you need though:

handle_errors {
	@502 {
		expression {http.error.status_code} == 502
	}
	handle @502 {
		root * /var/lib/caddy/web-wol
		rewrite 502.html
		file_server
	}
}

The handle_errors directive is essentially its own set of directives that get used if an error is encountered. Its handling is isolated from the rest of the handling. I’m sure we’ll figure out a shorter way to do the same thing in a future release of Caddy.
