Serviio

Hello

I am trying to reverse-proxy the Serviio console (in Caddy).

Proxying to 'ip:port' and going to 'serviio.proxy/console' works fine.
Proxying to 'ip:port/console/' appends another console to make it 'serviio.proxy/console' and returns empty XML https://speedtest.vet/ https://vidmate.bid/.
Proxying to 'ip:port' and adding 'redirect / /console/' get stuck in an endless loop of appending 1console' to make 'serviio.proxy/console/console/console/console/console...'

Any thoughts?

I use IIS/URLRewrite as a reverse proxy for certificate authority, so I know that it works. It has to be an issue with your config of Caddy. I know URLRewrite has this issue if the web.config attached to it does not parse the destination URL correctly.

The Caddy problem with reverse proxy has often occurred to me before. But I thought it was the virtual machine I created.

I had a similar error when I used a reverse proxy server. But it was because I accidentally used different servers on the main device and on the virtual machine. To avoid such a forwarding problem, make sure that the main console is connected. Although everything in Caddy can be perceived as a single server automatically, this doesn't always happen. By the way, the first commentator is right about web.config, which can break your entire proxy transition. My current proxy list works fine, but I stopped using Caddy altogether. Serviio has more convenient pieces.

To address your issue with the endless loop when using Caddy as a reverse proxy, it might help to double-check how your proxy configuration handles URL paths. The issue you're seeing could stem from how Caddy interprets and forwards requests, especially when it's dealing with appended paths like "/console/". One approach could be experimenting with the specific directives or even considering alternative solutions. Some users have found success by using rotating residential proxies for better management and control over their server connections. This might give you more stability in your setup.

Setting up a reverse proxy to your console can be tricky, but it's worth it for the added control and security. From my experience, it's all about choosing the right tool for the job.
