Use Caddy without Let's Encrypt?

[Brian]

I am trying to run Caddy without internet access so I would like to disable Let’s Encrypt support.

If my Caddyfile specifies localhost or an IP address Caddy seems to serve pages fine without using Let’s Encrypt. If I specify a hostname’s FQDN then it errors out.

The error is, "error creating client: get directory at ‘https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory’: failed to get … x509: certificate has expired or is not yet valid

How do I disable Let’s Encrypt so I can use Caddy without internet access?

You can turn it off a few different ways:

• Add tls off to your CaddyFile.

domain.com {
    tls off
}

• Explicitly specify http:// for the vhost

http://domain.com {

}

If you’re not using a vhost you can simply put tls off in your Caddyfile.
