Did Caddy change something? Can't access server remotely.

[4r5hw45twh]

So, here is my setup:

I own a domain name. I have the A record pointing to a VPS public IP. From there, I have a Caddyfile that points to my home network's public IP. This always worked just fine on JF but now it isn't. On my domain name, I now get this: https://i.imgur.com/mhN8Z2O.png

It admittedly has been months since I tried to access remotely, and that's how I only just noticed it randomly stopped working. I am puzzled on how to fix this. I have quadruple-checked everything. My DNS record 100% points to the VPS' public IP. I have a Caddyfile at /home on the VPS and then one at /etc/caddy/Caddyfile. The one at /home is simply:

Code:

jellyfin.MY_DOMAIN_NAME.com

reverse_proxy HOME_NETWORK_PUBLIC_IP:8096

And the one at /etc is:

Code:

# The Caddyfile is an easy way to configure your Caddy web server.
#
# Unless the file starts with a global options block, the first
# uncommented line is always the address of your site.
#
# To use your own domain name (with automatic HTTPS), first make
# sure your domain's A/AAAA DNS records are properly pointed to
# this machine's public IP, then replace ":80" below with your
# domain name.

jellyfin.MY_DOMAIN_NAME.com {
# Set this path to your site's directory.
root * /usr/share/caddy

# Enable the static file server.
file_server

# Another common task is to set up a reverse proxy:
# reverse_proxy localhost:8080

# Or serve a PHP site through php-fpm:
# php_fastcgi localhost:9000
}

# Refer to the Caddy docs for more information:
# https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile

Any help/ideas?

Is Jellyfin running? Did your home IP change?

Is Jellyfin running?  Did your home IP change?

Yes, it is running. No, IP is the same.

So how does the caddy file in your home directory get used by Caddy? I don't see any reference to it in /etc/caddy/caddyfile.

I really don't remember - it just always worked. What should I do?

[TheDreadPirate]

Why have two caddy files anyway? Put the contents of the caddy file in your home directory in the caddyfile in /etc/caddy.

So, copy-and-paste the contents of /home into /etc and then I can delete the /home one? Because I just did that when I reloaded Caddy then refreshed my domain URL, I am getting a blank page instead of that Caddy welcome page now.

Did you replace all of the contents of the one in /etc/caddy? Or just put it at the bottom.

I just noticed this bit in the original version you posted (trimmed all the comments).

Code:

jellyfin.MY_DOMAIN_NAME.com {
# Set this path to your site's directory.
root * /usr/share/caddy
file_server
}

I just replaced all the contents. But tbh, I don't even know what all the stuff was in the /etc Caddyfile. Because I don't use a file manager or anything for my domain. I use it as my own e-mail domain, so the site doesn't actually have any content or anything like that - if you visit the direct base URL, it doesn't load anything. So, should I add what you just quoted back to the /etc file?

[TheDreadPirate]

Your caddyfile literally only needs two lines. Which you already had right.

Code:

jellyfin.MY_DOMAIN_NAME.com

reverse_proxy HOME_NETWORK_PUBLIC_IP:8096

If you made any changes you do need to restart Caddy if you haven't done that already.
