xcaddy / caddy-security

[copolycube]

Hello,
I currently use your role for installing caddy as it was the most straightforward way to configure and install caddy from ansible, but I as the requirement grew more complex I needed to change the caddy binary in order to use the security-caddy plugin to enable oauth with Caddy.

How would you achieve this (if possible) with your role ?

Thanks in advance for your help !

To use caddy modules you need to compile a custom version of caddy using something like xcaddy.

Since this role installs a pre-built caddy from the repositories I don't think this is possible.

Hi! As mentioned by @mspae, this is sadly not supported by the caddy_server role right now.
We currently only install caddy from the upstream repositories and there is no support for custom binaries.
As a workaround, you could install a custom caddy build externally and then use the modules included in this collection as normal.

I'd be interested in adding xcaddy/custom binary support to the caddy_server role in the future (this would also allow using DNS01 challenge plugins). Users would then be able to set a list of enabled plugins in a variable, with the role building the binary using xcaddy. If someone is willing to put in the effort I'd be happy to review and merge it!
