If you like, I can send you an example of the Caddyfiles, that I’m using (I used the import directive to split every service into its own Caddyfiles, you could just copy and paste everything in the same file). It will take a few hours until I get home, though.
But basically you can just put every subdomain and it’s target in a separate block and the add some things globally (e.g. passing the original IP, switching off the admin API of Caddy,…)
Something like this should work:
admin off
servers {
client_ip_headers X-Forwarded-For X-Real-IP
}
app.example.com {
reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:8080
}
app2.example.com {
reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:8081
}
api.example.com {
reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:8082
header {
Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, OPTIONS"
Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
}
}









No, that’s just another hypothetical app that you’re using a reverse proxy for. I just included it to show how you can also set settings for a single subdomain/reverse proxy entry that isn’t used globally on all domains that get served. I used a hypothetical REST API that needs a CORS Header that other apps don’t need (or maybe serve themselves).
admin offdisables Caddy’s admin interface (which shouldn’t be public and if you’re using config files this usually isn’t needed. So just a bit of gardening)serverssets some general server options.and then I just inserted several blocks that each define a reverse proxy to a different app / backend to show that you can just dump them all in a single Caddyfile. And the last example to show that you can set specific settings only for a specific subdomain instead of globally. As I set headers mostly used by REST APIs, I just called that
api.example.cominstead ofapp3.example.com.
