i did those steps and posted in the above ticket that after i still had no log.

prior to doing that i did this,

root@OPNsense:/var/log # cd caddy
root@OPNsense:/var/log/caddy # ls
access          caddy.log       latest.log
root@OPNsense:/var/log/caddy # cat access
cat: access: Is a directory
root@OPNsense:/var/log/caddy # cd access
root@OPNsense:/var/log/caddy/access # ls
root@OPNsense:/var/log/caddy/access # cd caddy
caddy: No such file or directory.
root@OPNsense:/var/log/caddy/access # cd /var/log/caddy
root@OPNsense:/var/log/caddy # ls
access          caddy.log       latest.log
root@OPNsense:/var/log/caddy # cat latest.log
cat: latest.log: No such file or directory

strange, that it showed the log file when i did "ls" but then when i tried to "cat" it i got no such file

after performing the steps you suggested i get this

root@OPNsense:/var/log/caddy # ls
access          caddy.log

no latest.log

I have tried info and debug along with everything else. I will reboot and see if that helps

I havent gotten a response from the maintainer for caddy-dns/route53 but while i was there i saw this;

"Caddy 2.10 upgraded to libdns 1.0, which breaks compatibility with older DNS providers. To use Caddy 2.10 or newer, install version 1.6 or later. For earlier Caddy versions, use a corresponding older module release."
and
To compile this Caddy module, you can use xcaddy the following way:

$ xcaddy build \
    --with github.com/caddy-dns/route53@version

so I unchecked caddy-dns/route53 from the modules selection and put github.com/caddy-dns/route53@v1.6 in the custom modules box, this resulted in a version not found error. at this point I did a websearch for versions and found there was a v1.6-beta.2 version so I tried again with that and the build was successful. YAY so after filling in aws stuffs in the API fields and enabling caddy I now have a trust certificate. looks good, except nothing at all is being logged, logfile set to info and I see nothing! before I would at least see messages like it was doing something? also I dont appear to be getting to my internal server default apache page, just get a server stopped responding error on my phone.(possibly total fubared settings on my part, but i would think something would show up in the logs)

OK, Finally after like three different upgrades i got to opnsense 25.7.5 then removed the caddy plugin and followed the install at https://github.com/Monviech/os-caddy. I selected these modules:

caddyserver/ntlm-transport
mholt/caddy-dynamicdns
mholt/caddy-l4
caddy-dns/route53

then I pushed the build button after a few minutes it quit and had a message that build failed check log at /var/log/xcaddy or some such file I have no idea of how to get to.
I did however find this in system/logfiles/backend;

Script action failed with Command 'cat /usr/local/etc/xcaddy/xcaddy_build.status' returned non-zero exit status 1. at Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/opnsense/service/modules/actions/script_output.py", line 89, in execute subprocess.run(script_command, env=self.config_environment, shell=True, File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/subprocess.py", line 571, in run raise CalledProcessError(retcode, process.args, subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command 'cat /usr/local/etc/xcaddy/xcaddy_build.status' returned non-zero exit status 1.

where did I go wrong?

ok I found /var/log/xcaddy
here are the last lines of the file

thanks

I have been trying to get this to work on my opnsense 25.1 install, i found this with a websearch about it;

"To configure Caddy on OPNsense for use with AWS, specifically for wildcard certificate generation via Route53, you can use the os-caddy plugin developed by Monviech.This plugin supports DNS-01 challenges using AWS Route53 through the caddy-dns/route53 module, which allows automatic certificate issuance and renewal for domains managed by AWS"

but when i tick the DNS-01 challenge box, save and apply I get this message;

Error: adapting config using caddyfile: parsing caddyfile tokens for 'tls': getting module named 'dns.providers.route53': module not registered: dns.providers.route53, at /usr/local/etc/caddy/Caddyfile:34

What am i doing wrong? is there a module i am supposed to install?
