Automatic SSL Redirects

Improvement

We've refactored our Caddy configurations to take advantage of the built-in automatic SSL redirects with Caddy. This means your applications won't need to handle SSL redirects on their own anymore. Plus, static sites will now always be served over SSL.

For load balanced clusters, HTTP access is enabled on the web servers. The load balancer will strip the SSL connection and use HTTP on the local network for proxying requests.

Applying this update

To apply these changes to existing applications, click the "Update Caddy" button under your app's settings page.

If you still need HTTP access publicly, you can turn on the "Disable https redirects" feature in your Cluster's Settings.

ℹ️ Cloudflare users will want to ensure their domain's SSL mode is set to Full. If set to Flexible, this change will cause infinite redirects as Cloudflare will use HTTP to proxy to your site.
