Hello! I have 2 services that are only being accessed locally but require HTTPS so I am using Caddy & DuckDNS w/ DNS-01 to reverse proxy them. In DuckDNS, both subdomains are pointing at the local IP address of Caddy, and my Caddyfile has:

service1.duckdns.org:443 {
        tls {
                dns duckdns {
                        api_token API-TOKEN
                }
        }
        reverse_proxy 192.168.0.51:8080
	}

service2.duckdns.org:443 {
        tls {
                dns duckdns {
                        api_token API-TOKEN
                }
        }
        reverse_proxy 192.168.0.20:8080
	}

The issue is that I can access https://service1.duckdns.org/ (within my home network), but I can't access https://service2.duckdns.org/ (502 Bad Gateway). Caddy is running in a LXC in Proxmox, and Service1 is on a different VM on the same Proxmox machine, while Service2 is on a different machine on my network. I don't see any entries in my router's firewall logs or PiHole that indicates something is blocking it. I enabled logging in Caddy for both services and I am only able to see activity for Service1, so I guess that means something is blocking Service2 from reaching Caddy entirely?

I'm able to access service2 directly from the IP address but I'm a novice in networking so I'm trying to understand and learn what could be causing this. Any help would be appreciated!

Edit: service2 is ActualBudget and I had configured it to use the certs using the instructions here (https://actualbudget.org/docs/config/https/) when I didn't need to (since Caddy handles all of this already.. i think)

Thanks for the explanation! I removed the entries for the certs in Actual and now it seems to be working. Solved a problem and learned something new!

Sweet, just keep in mind that the connection between caddy and actual is just a plain HTTP one. Since your connection is in your local network that's fine, but if you were to change that then be mindful that you are placing an implicit trust on the networking between caddy and actual.
