I presume this is in jest, but to be honest I feel like there is less risk of bad operators consuming my computing power and data when pirating than using legit services these days (ads, marketing, poor software etc...). I actually pirate content that I pay for as it gets all my content into a single location, and easily tracks what I have watched, and is better for taking it offline.

Are.you able to identify what dns provider youa re using, as I read the error as being related to the cert resolver not being able to access the correct zone from the DNS provider. I am using cloudflare and the Caddy file looks pretty similar to mine, so I aren't sure the issue is there.

One other thing to try is to restarts caddy, I found that sometimes reloading my caddy file wasn't enough, and thing seemed to stay working after I restarted the docker image

Yeah, I had lots of service configured like that, and you are correct that it is awesome, however I have other services on other hosts (not on docker swarm either) so I needed to delve into file config quite often, and doing some web dev work, I had services that weren't dockerized, so I ended up creating dummy services (socat containers) to make them easy. It just got a bit frustrating and taking too much headspace, I was able to setup caddy in about 2 hours one evening, so I am pretty happy so far, and I can see all my hosts in a single file which is great ( I ended up with orphaned routes etc.. from containers I forgot about when I was testing things).

As you say, different people come at the same problem and come away with totally different views ( which is pretty great that there are enough option that we can all find something that works for our needs ).

I am aware of it, haven't needed to use it, but seems pretty powerful.

True, but if someone spends 5 hours changing there proxy ( + 10 hours figuring out what you broke and fixing ), then they might save a few minutes down the line configuring new services. self-hosting maths....

Come on and fight me.....

I just tried out caddy for the first time and found it to be fantastic, I have used both Traefik and Nginx Proxy Manager extensively and although they were both great, the simplicity of the Caddfilr is fantastic. With a few snippets configured, I can add a host with a single line that just defines the port and url, it's like magic.

Has anyone got any known traps ( or tips) with caddy to make it useful.

The issues I have had previously with Traefik were the need to have multiplelines to configure it (and configure the host and router separately), and the difference between local docker services ( I do like using labels to configure, but with lots of services it gets a bit fragmented and difficult toanahe) and remote services ( had to use the file config).

With NPM, I find using the GUI to configure the servers difficult ( and challenging to keep consistent ) and I had a time that it forgot something ( can't remember if it was certificates or something else ) and that was the straw that broke the camel's back for me.

Anyway, currently I am happy with caddy and am not planning on replacing it (at least for a month or two :D ). It would be nice if there was a GUI, but no big drama honestly, and the text config is great.

Would I be correct to assume you are using Backblaze PC backup rather than B2?

[–] qwacko@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 year ago

Good work, interesting to see how you have made it work with limited additional libraries (i.e. react-query, next etc...), and interesting to see how all the catches can lead to callback hell....

But good work, and keep it up.

Although I might be interested in using the OP suggestion, I will draw the line at paying for this unholy combination :D ..... But we really, good efforts here

[–] qwacko@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, this has me intrigued. May try it out in vscode just for a lark. Possibly actually will be easier to read with some nice shapes...
