When using docker to create wordpress-fpm and Caddy, Caddy cannot proxy port 9000 of php-fpm

1. Caddy version

Caddy v2

2. How I run Caddy:

a. System environment:

Fedora Server 35, podman version 3.4.7

b. Command:

I use podman to create Caddy container and assign it a bridged network.

podman run --network mybridge --name caddy -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -v Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile caddy:latest

And I used podman to create a fpm tag WordPress using the following command. The container wordpress and Caddy are in a same bridged network.

podman run --network mybridge --name wordpress -d -v ./wordpress_volume/html:/var/www/html wordpress:fpm

c. My complete Caddyfile

example.com

reverse_proxy wordpress:9000
root * /var/www/html
file_server

3. The problem I’m having:

I hope to visit example.com to be able to see the wordpress installer, but it doesn’t. Also curl doesn’t get any information on the host.
chrome shows error code. HTTP ERROR 502.

4. Error messages and/or full log output:

5. What I already tried:

I think this is a stupid question. I try to use wordpress:latest with apache, and use caddy’s reverse proxy to get to the installation page. Tried using other ports as well, didn’t work. and some other attempts.

php-fpm is a fastcgi server, not an HTTP server.

You need to use php_fastcgi, not reverse_proxy.

Also, you need to mount /var/www/html in the Caddy container as well.

Make sure to persist /data from the Caddy container as a volume, otherwise you risk losing your certificates and keys.

Thanks, I also tried to use php_fastcgi before, but I didn’t mount /var/www/html, I think the problem is here.
Thanks for your help!
