CADDY — Caddy Web Server
Last reviewed: 2026-05-29
Purpose: Caddy web server configuration and reverse proxy setup for local services (Portainer, Grafana, Prometheus, N8N, Ollama, OpenWebUI, and more).
Overview
This folder contains a complete Caddy JSON configuration file and helper scripts for managing a local Caddy instance. The primary configuration (allProxies.json) defines reverse proxy routes for a suite of self-hosted services running on a single machine.

Usage
# Check current Caddy config
./checkCaddyConfig.sh
# Load new proxy configuration via admin API
./curllocalhost2019load.sh
Notes
- Caddy runs locally and uses the JSON API v2 format. Configuration is loaded hot via the admin endpoint at
localhost:2019. - Each proxy route remaps a high-numbered public port to an internal service port.
