        "http": {
            "servers": {
                "example2": {
                    "listen": [
                        "127.0.0.1:2016"
                    ],
                    "routes": [
                        {
                            "handle": [
                                {
                                    "handler": "reverse_proxy",
                                    "transport": {
                                        "protocol": "http",
                                        "read_buffer_size": 4096
                                    },
                                    "upstreams": [
                                        {
                                            "dial": "127.0.0.1:8080"
                                        }
                                    ]
                                }
                            ]
                        }
                    ]
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

3. The problem I’m having:

now， i want to proxy a /subpath to 127.0.0.1:8080
in caddy1, i can do it:

127.0.0.1:2016 {
proxy /subpath 127.0.0.1:8080
}

in caddy2, how do i need to write the json file ???

4. Error messages and/or full log output:

5. What I already tried:

The easiest thing to do if when learning to write JSON configs with Caddy is to write what you want as a v2 Caddyfile then adapt it to JSON with the caddy adapt command.

In Caddy v2, it would look like either of these, depending on whether your upstream service expects the subpath to be stripped or not.

With stripping:

handle_path /subpath/* {
	reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:8080
}

Without stripping:

reverse_proxy /subpath/* 127.0.0.1:8080

I’ve been struggling a bit with this (noob)

Got reverse proxy working like this

rewrite / /ui
reverse_proxy localhost:1880

But also need access to backend subdirectory /admin
If I put in another rewrite I get stuck in password auth loop…
