[SOLVED] How to forward real IP from Caddy server? (self.selfhosted)

Hello,

I have hosted azuracast in my minipc and I want to forward the IP of the song requester, right now it's only taking one IP the "podman container ip" so basically Azuracast thinks that every request is coming from the IP address 10.89.1.1 which is the IP of interface created by podman.

57: podman3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 0e:fa:6d:33:b9:39 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 10.89.1.1/24 brd 10.89.1.255 scope global podman3
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::b876:abff:fede:c3ef/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

also I am explicitly forwarding the IP using X-Forwarded-Host.

reverse_proxy http://localhost:4000/ {
		header_up X-Forwarded-Host {host}
	}

I don't know how to resolve it, any help would be appreciated :)

Edit: I didn't had to so any of this stuff, what I should have done is just enabling "reverse proxy" option in Azuracast since Caddy forwards those headers by default unlike nginx. Thank you very much for helping me <3

ok I tried to add those two in my Caddyfile:

ac.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org {
	reverse_proxy http://localhost:4000/ {
		header_up X-Forwarded-Host {host}
		header_up X-Forwarded-For {host}
		header_up X-Real-IP {host}
	}
}

here is the output of a request.

2025/04/16 15:52:17.005	WARN	http.handlers.reverse_proxy	aborting with incomplete response	{"upstream": "localhost:4000", "duration": 0.000995717, "request": {"remote_ip": "103.250.137.61", "remote_port": "19389", "client_ip": "103.250.137.61", "proto": "HTTP/3.0", "method": "GET", "host": "ac.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org", "uri": "/static/vite_dist/assets/Roboto-Light-DHTugVNA.woff2", "headers": {"User-Agent": ["Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:128.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/128.0"], "Sec-Fetch-Dest": ["font"], "Accept-Encoding": ["identity"], "Cookie": ["REDACTED"], "Sec-Fetch-Mode": ["cors"], "Accept": ["application/font-woff2;q=1.0,application/font-woff;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8"], "Accept-Language": ["en-US,en;q=0.5"], "X-Forwarded-For": ["ac.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org"], "X-Real-Ip": ["ac.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org"], "Sec-Fetch-Site": ["same-origin"], "Alt-Used": ["ac.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org"], "X-Forwarded-Host": ["ac.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org"], "X-Forwarded-Proto": ["https"], "Referer": ["https://ac.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org/static/vite_dist/assets/Layout-Cv860oWs.css"]}, "tls": {"resumed": false, "version": 772, "cipher_suite": 4865, "proto": "h3", "server_name": "ac.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org"}}, "error": "writing: H3_REQUEST_CANCELLED"}

I also tried this but it didn't work either:

ac.ghodawalaaman.duckdns.org {
    	log {
    	    output file ./azuracast.log
    	    format json
    	}
	reverse_proxy http://localhost:4000/ {
		header_up X-Forwarded-For {request.remote}
		header_up X-Real-IP {request.remote}
	}
}

here is the azuracast.log: https://0x0.st/8fd7.bin

I am still very confused why it's not working...

Actually it looks like Caddy is supposed to set those automatically (I'm used to Nginx which doesn't).

You'll have to look at why the upstream isn't accepting them then. I'm not familiar with azuracast.

yes you are right, I asked it in Azuracast discord server and they said I have to manually enable "reverse proxy" option.

Thank you so much for helping me <3

To be fair, it is confusing and I don’t recall whether the caddy docs mention it. Some applications require you to set a field called ‘trusted proxies’ and others will just work straight away.
