Current behavior
Hello friends 🖐️
I have an older setup that works perfectly with Nginx.
When v0.28 was released, I created a fresh project to test it. However, after switching to Caddy, the proxy service refuses to start — no matter what I try.
Has anyone experienced this issue and found a solution?
Steps to reproduce
Steps to Reproduce
1. Use the default configs:
2. Modify .env file:
LISTEN_HTTP_PORT=8080 LISTEN_HTTPS_PORT=8443 SITE_ADDRESS=:8080
(to avoid port conflicts)
3. Change APP_DOMAIN to an actual domain.
4. Start the services with Docker Compose.
Expected Behavior
Caddy should start and act as the reverse proxy.
Actual Behavior
- Proxy service does not start.
- No logs are generated for debugging.
Environment
Deploy preview
Browser
None
Variant
Self-hosted
Version
v0.28.0
