3. The problem I’m having:

when I visit http://host.com/some/route, I will got 404

5. What I already tried:

I am trying to rewrite all get request which accept contains text/html to /

how can I rewrite all routes to ‘index.html’ or just /

If using Caddyfile syntax: try_files (Caddyfile directive) — Caddy Documentation

If using JSON, use a file matcher with the try_files option, then use a rewrite handler to rewrite to /index.html
