# Caddy configuration for DChain prod. # # What this does: # 1. Auto-HTTPS via Let's Encrypt (requires the DOMAIN envvar and # a DNS A-record pointing at this host). # 2. Round-robins HTTP /api/* across the three node backends. GETs are # idempotent so round-robin is safe; POST /api/tx is accepted by any # validator and gossiped to the rest — no stickiness needed. # 3. Routes /api/ws (WebSocket upgrade) through with header # preservation. Uses ip_hash (lb_policy client_ip) so one client # sticks to one node — avoids re-doing the auth handshake on every # subscribe. # 4. Serves /metrics ONLY from localhost IPs so the Prometheus inside # the stack can scrape it; public scrapers are refused. # # To use: # - Set environment var DOMAIN before `docker compose up`: # DOMAIN=dchain.example.com docker compose up -d # - DNS must resolve DOMAIN → this host's public IP. # - Port 80 must be reachable for ACME HTTP-01 challenge. { # Global options. `auto_https` is on by default — leave it alone. email {$ACME_EMAIL:admin@example.com} servers { # Enable HTTP/3 for mobile clients. protocols h1 h2 h3 } } # ── Public endpoint ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────── {$DOMAIN:localhost} { # Compression for JSON / HTML responses. encode zstd gzip # ── WebSocket ────────────────────────────────────────────────────── # Client-IP stickiness so reconnects land on the same node.
