Question
How to set up Caddy in App w/ SSL

Asked by lpilon
I’m trying to use the wonderfull App platform to deploy a Caddy webserver. I’m running into an issue with SSL management.
By default, Caddy tries to get a Letsencrypt certificate, which fails. It’s also unneccary because the App platform handles that.
I found a tutorial where Caddy is set to run at port 80, effectively making sure Caddy doesn’t do anything with SSL. When I try it in my app, building and deploying works without error, but am getting this message when visiting the website:
Client sent an HTTP request to an HTTPS server.
Any clues how to solve this?

Hey @lpilon,
Can you share the Caddyfile block for that domain?. According to the documentation it’s necessary to set the HTTP prefix, in addition to port 80.
Let me know how it goes,
