Hi, I’m having trouble getting my Caddy reverse proxy to work with the arr apps I can access everything without the reverse proxy. I have set the basic login prompt (like this one) through the arr apps after I logge in to one of the arr apps I either get a blank page or I’m seeing this error page:
firefox
The page isn’t redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.
chromium
This page isn’t working domain.com redirected you too many times.

}
}
}
I’ve tried setting the URL base to /the_name_of_the_arr_app, but it didn’t work. I’ve attempted it with and without the redir /the_name_of_the_arr_app /the_name_of_the_arr_app/. I’m stuck and unsure of how to resolve the issue. It works fine with qBittorrent.

Is there a reason you’re trying to expose them to the internet? IMO you’re better off not doing that and using Overseer as the only exposed service that talks to everything else. Exposing the whole arr stack is just unwise and unnecessary.
I exposed it all because I am on a VPS, i don’t know how to configure it otherwise, and I did not think it was a problem because all the seedboxes expose it all.
I don’t want to run Jellyfin/Plex because I am on a VPS with low resources.
