I've just recently started setting up my own Ubuntu v16 server on 100tb.com. I'm using Caddy to serve my webpages and give my website an SSL certificate for https. I've installed the Cloudflare version of Caddy on set up and have everything configured according to this article. I have a friend who walked me through setting up Cloudflare so I'm certain it's configured right as well.
The error I'm getting when I restart Caddy is:
caddy[14965]: Activating privacy features...2018/01/17 17:10:18 CloudFlare credentials missing
And then Caddy enters a failed state and my website will not show up. I've tried many things. I've manually put the CLOUFLARE_EMAIL and CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY into my environment file. I've used both env and export to add the credentials to my path variable. When I run echo $path they show up in my path (maybe I put them in wrong tho?). When I run echo $CLOUDFLARE_EMAIL it prints it out to the command line like myemail@example.com and same for echo $CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY.
I've looked at Caddy's documentation and other people's questions but none had the answer. I'm not sure why I keep getting this error, I feel like I've done everything correctly. Thanks in advance for any help/insights you have.
Here is my CaddyFile:
www.example.com {
root /var/www
gzip
log /var/www/access.log
errors /var/www/errors.log
tls {
dns cloudflare
}
}
I fixed this by editting the caddy.service file under /etc/systemd/system/caddy.service adding Environment=CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY=xxxxx and Environment=CLOUDFLARE_EMAIL=xxxxx below the already existing Environment=CADDYPATH=xxxxx and did a sudo systemctl daemon-reload followed by sudo systemctl restart caddy. Running sudo systemctl status caddy.service shows caddy is running and successfully obtained a ssl certificate, making my website https.
