Unable to install Cloudflare DNS module

Help

1. The problem I’m having:

Trying to install and register Cloudflare module but apparently it isn’t listed in caddy list-modules. Am I missing something?

2. Full log output:

././caddy version
v2.8.4 h1:q3pe0wpBj1OcHFZ3n/1nl4V4bxBrYoSoab7rL9BMYNk=

3. Caddy version:

v2.8.4

4. How I installed and ran Caddy:

Since I’m using Proxmox and decided to try out with Caddy and replace Nginx Proxy Manager, I used a Proxmox script to install and configure itself. It does not come with xcaddy so I had to install them myself.

  1. Ran this command to create a new LXC (container) and install+configure Caddy bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/ct/caddy.sh)"
  2. Ran caddy first time to be sure it is working properly.
  3. When created and installed, install xcaddy following xcaddy’s github repo using cloudsmith repo approach.
  4. Ran xcaddy build --with github.com/caddy-dns/cloudflare to try to install Cloudflare DNS module
  5. Ran caddy list-modules to verify that the cloudflare dns is on the non-standard module list, which is it isn’t on it even with clean install.

a. System environment:

Debian 12

b. Command:

xcaddy build --with github.com/caddy-dns/cloudflare
caddy list-modules

c. Service/unit/compose file:

Not using docker or systemd

d. My complete Caddy config:

# The Caddyfile is an easy way to configure your Caddy web server.
#
# Unless the file starts with a global options block, the first
# uncommented line is always the address of your site.
#
# To use your own domain name (with automatic HTTPS), first make
# sure your domain's A/AAAA DNS records are properly pointed to
# this machine's public IP, then replace ":80" below with your
# domain name.

#:80 {
# Set this path to your site's directory.
#       root * /usr/share/caddy

# Enable the static file server.
#       file_server

# Another common task is to set up a reverse proxy:
# reverse_proxy localhost:8080

# Or serve a PHP site through php-fpm:
# php_fastcgi localhost:9000
#}

# Refer to the Caddy docs for more information:
# https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile

(cloudflare) {
        tls {
                dns cloudflare {env.CLOUDFLARE_AUTH_TOKEN}
        }
}

# pdf
pdf.coltvel.com {
        reverse_proxy http://10.0.0.103
        import cloudflare
}

Never mind, I realized I installed windows instead of linux version. What a big oversight… lol
