Comment on Issues with https certs locally

Not one correct answer here that i see…oof.

If you are doing a dns challenge then You need to give caddy access to your domain to perform the dns challenge. Depending on domain provider that is easy or hard. It will briefly change some records that tells let’s encrypt you own the domain and then issue the cert

Or you can do http challenge, this requires you to manually configure your domain to point to a publicly accessible caddy endpoint which is probably not what you want, ok if you do it briefly but not recommended unless you know what you’re doing

Who is your domain provider?

I use porkbun and I do the DNS challenge. I know it succeeds because proxmox gets https perfectly fine. But none of my lxc containers get https after doing DNS challenges for them. Not sure what I am doing wrong since I clearly did it right at least once :/

  Nice, ok hmm… sounds like you are using the router for internal DNS, did you set all the services to point at caddy?
  
  Eg you could try a quick hack in hosts (assuming the caddy ip is 192.168.10.10)
  
  192.168.10.10 grafana.domain.example 192.168.10.10 prometheus.domain.example 192.168.10.10 jellyfin.domain.example
  
  And then navigate to one of the services over https
  
  Main thing is all your internal DNS records need to point at caddy, and then it forwards to the real container IP
  
  Not strictly required but could be worthwhile to get a dedicated internal dns server up… I use technitium, or there’s pi hole or a few other options …

    like you are using the router for internal DNS, did you set all the services to point at caddy? That was the answer! I had it pointed to the services, but once I set them to point at Caddy, it all worked. I cannot believe it was such a simple fix and also that I never picked up on that in all the guides/tutorials/videos I watched about this. Thank you!
