Think I’ve gone down the rabbit hole on this one.

I have more than one Debian machine that I host apps on. I want to serve them with https, so I decided it was best to centrally get the domain cert/key (I’ve used certwarden) and use a script/cron job on each server to get the certs. Then use caddy to reverse-proxy.

So, after some research I decided that certs should be placed in /etc/SSL/certs (keys in /etc/SSL/private). Problem is caddy can’t get to them. I’ve tried messing around with permissions etc but I suspect I’m running into issues because I’m not doing this the proper way.

What is the proper way of doing it? Or is there a much easier solution?

    Does the caddy user have the permissions to read the files ? I ran into that problem as well. If only caddy needs the cert I moved them into /etc/caddy, chowned the dir again, make sure you use the full path of the cert so /etc/caddy/domain.crt not ./domain.crt
