Synlinks is not working in Caddy V2

[milewski]

Hi I have the following configuration:

:80 {

    root * /srv/public
    file_server

    php_fastcgi php:9000

}

acessing http://docker.localhost/somefile.txt works

however acessing: http://docker.localhost/somefolder/somefile.txt where somefolder is a synlink doesnt work..

confirmed that it does work in V1 without any change

This is fixed by #3587 which is slated to be released with Caddy v2.2

For now, you can build from master or use one of the build artifacts from https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/actions/runs/194178338 until v2.2 is released.

Closing as a duplicate.

Is there any ETA for the release of v2.2? that is the only issue is preventing me to use caddy to in prod since the v2 release... I can't change my ci/build system right now to compile this from source

We're hoping for later this week, but it depends on a few factors.

Can you not use v2.2.0-rc.1? It has the fix.

https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/releases/tag/v2.2.0-rc.1

Building from source is really easy with xcaddy, give it a shot!

Uhm, I did not find the -rc on docker hub https://hub.docker.com/_/caddy?tab=tags&page=1 has it been published there yet?

I know how easy it is to build it from the source I have built it locally and tested it already, the problem doing this on my prod env is that I have to go through a process to get approval to 1 week later then get approval again to revert it back... So I'd rather wait is available on the docker hub (even as RC is fine) and skip this process.

Ah, yeah we tend to not publish beta/rc builds to Docker/package managers.

So yeah, probably just a week or two away from 2.2 🙂
