Hi all,
I’ve created a droplet using the 1-click installer with Docker to install a Golang app that starts a server in port 4000 and I’m doing this in my production stage Dockerfile:
EXPOSE 4000
ENTRYPOINT ["./app"] --port 4000
However after running the Dockerfile and making sure the server is running, I want to go to my droplet IP address to make sure it worked, but it just shows the Caddy static website. However, going to the IP:4000 shows my app.
What do I need to do in order to see my web app in the default 80 port? Thanks!

Hi there,
I believe that you need to configure Caddy to reverse proxy requests from port 80 to your Go app on port 4000.
To do that you have to update your Caddy config file and add a reverse proxy rule, eg:
Just replace the
<your-droplet-ip>with your actual Droplet IP address and then restart Caddy:After that you should be able to access your web app by navigating to your Droplet’s IP address in the browser without specifying port 4000.
For more information on
reverse_proxyconfig, you can check the documentation here:Let me know how it goes!
Best,
Bobby
