[SOLVED] Caddy not rendering assets

Issue

I have a rails application that is not rendering assets. It was previously working fine. When I added linked files it not only uploaded the files I specified but also precompiled assets. Even after clobbering all assets and recompiling it fails to render them even though that exist on the box.

error

# ps aux | grep puma    # Get puma pid

Solution

I was able to get this working but using the fileserver directive.

https://example.com {
  encode zstd gzip
  root * /home/deploy/apps/rails-app/current/public
  file_server
  tls [email protected]
  @notStatic {
     not file
  }
  reverse_proxy @notStatic unix//home/deploy/apps/rails-app/shared/tmp/sockets/rails-app-puma.sock

  header / {
    Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000"
  }
}
