2 weeks ago I think you're looking for https://github.com/mholt/caddy-l4 or possibly https://github.com/kadeessh/kadeessh. SSH is out of scope of Caddy; Caddy's standard distribution only has an HTTP server.
We do have a plan to port caddy-l4 to this repo so it would be included by default, but that's still a long-term plan.
Description:
Caddy is an excellent web server that provides automatic HTTPS, simple configuration, and a powerful feature set for managing HTTP/HTTPS traffic. However, I have encountered a scenario where I need to forward SSH traffic alongside HTTP/HTTPS. Currently, Caddy does not support forwarding SSH protocol, which necessitates the use of additional tools such as Nginx or HAProxy.
Request:
I would like to request the addition of SSH protocol forwarding support in Caddy. This feature would allow Caddy to handle SSH traffic similarly to how it manages HTTP/HTTPS traffic, providing a unified and simplified configuration for both web and SSH services.
Use Case:
Unified Configuration: Managing both web and SSH traffic through a single Caddy configuration file would simplify server management and deployment. Enhanced Security: With Caddy's automatic HTTPS features, a similar approach for SSH could potentially offer automated and streamlined security enhancements for SSH traffic. Streamlined DevOps Workflow: By supporting SSH protocol forwarding, Caddy can further enhance the DevOps workflow, reducing the need for additional reverse proxy tools. Proposed Implementation:
Stream Module: Introduce a stream module to handle TCP traffic, similar to how Nginx's stream module works. Configuration Example: caddyfile example.com { reverse_proxy { to ssh://localhost:22 } } Automatic Certificate Management: Optionally, provide automated certificate management for SSH traffic if feasible, leveraging existing Caddy infrastructure. Conclusion:
Integrating SSH protocol forwarding into Caddy would greatly enhance its capabilities, making it an even more powerful and versatile tool for developers and system administrators. I believe this feature would be a valuable addition to the Caddy community.
Thank you for considering this request.
