I 'm trying to setup a caddy reverse proxy within Docker and I am following the guide in this YouTube video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qj45uHP7Jmo but when I the run docker compose up -d command I get this error:
failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: error during container init: error mounting “/home/Joe/container/caddy/Caddyfile” to rootfs at “/etc/caddy/Caddyfile”: create mountpoint for /etc/caddy/Caddyfile mount: cannot create subdirectories in “/var/lib/docker/overlay2/49e15938cd9c418a331b963f6fbbd3bba726b28748113ee8d028f6adf034b525/merged/etc/caddy/Caddyfile”: not a directory: unknown: Are you trying to mount a directory onto a file (or vice-versa)? Check if the specified host path exists and is the expected type
I am a bit perplexed on what I am doing wrong so any advice would be appreciated!
Do you already have the file created and populated at ‘/home/Joe/container/caddy/Caddyfile’ before running your up command?
I do but I am wondering if the syntax in my caddyfile is wrong.
I did get past my initial error thanks to this group but I cannot get to my portainer via host name still.
Here is my YAMLD YAML haha

Can you share your compose file? You should be able to paste into code blocks in a comment or your original post. It’s likely you’ve yamld something wrong.
Thank you everyone for your help!
I elected to start from scratch and use nginx and have come across another issue that I am hoping someone can shed some light on.
- I’ve purchased a domain.
- configured CloudFlare to use as my DNS.
- set up a CNAME for my two test containers.
- set up my SSL cert in nginx
- forwarded the proper ports on my router for my test containers.
- Configured two hosts. AudioBookShelf and Portainer
I can get to my Audiobookshelf perfectly from the web but when I try to reach my portainer it just re-directs to my audiobookshelf container.
When I disable audiobookshelf and attempt access my portainer I now get error code 521 website down. I am not sure what I misconfigured.
