Unifi Controller inform port 8080

1. The problem I’m having:

I’m trying to accept Unifi device requests to https://ui.pgroup.tech/inform and forward to http://10.0.0.207:8080/inform internally. I’m unable to reverse_proxy /inform http://10.0.0.207:8080/inform because it wont allow me to start the service.

2. Error messages and/or full log output:

Unable to start the caddy service if the reverse_proxy directive includes this

ui.pgroup.tech {
        reverse_proxy /inform http://10.0.0.207:8080/inform
        reverse_proxy https://10.0.0.207:8443 {
                transport http {
                        tls_insecure_skip_verify
                }
        }
}

d. My complete Caddy config:

ui.pgroup.tech {
        reverse_proxy /inform http://10.0.0.207:8080
        reverse_proxy https://10.0.0.207:8443 {
                transport http {
                        tls_insecure_skip_verify
                }
        }
}

5. Links to relevant resources:

This is invalid syntax. Caddy doesn’t take URLs for the upstream address, you can’t pass paths. See the docs:

You didn’t share the error when starting the service. Please completely fill out the help topic template as per the forum rules. The error message would have told you the problem.

Please upgrade to the latest version, v2.7.6.

You’re likely using the debian distro package, which is well behind. Please use our official apt repo instead. Install — Caddy Documentation
