Im currently looking into caddy as a replacement for my rudimentary NGINX reverse proxy configuration, since i want to reinstall and maybe simplify some of my infrastructure i wanted to give caddy a try.

To test my Ignition config that i intend to use for the finally deployment of my new pet server i am spinning up a CoreOS VM and try some things out. One of the things i wanted to try out was “real” TLS with caddy but since the Hostnames and the VM itself are not on the Internet i wanted to try the ACME facility in FreeIPAbecause there is a acme_ca directive in the caddy documentation… and with that fun began.
