Overview

The caddy-appd is a Caddy app that starts and stops non-Caddy applications.

The primary use case is enabling starting the applications proxied by caddy at startup. This way, there is no need to orchestrate the starting of services prior to the starting of caddy itself.

Getting Started

For example, the following configuration starts up webapp1 in /usr/local/www/webapp directory. The app is listening on port 8080. When requests arrive for webapp1.myfiosgateway.com, they are being proxied to webapp1.

{
  appd {
    app webapp1 {
      workdir /usr/local/www/webapp
      cmd /usr/local/bin/webapp
      args foo bar --foo=bar --port=8080
    }
  }
}

webapp1.myfiosgateway.com {
  route {
    reverse_proxy localhost:8080
  }
}

There is a sample config in assets/config/Caddyfile.

Test its configuration:

curl https://localhost:8443/version
curl https://localhost:8443/pytest/foo
