Obtain certificates, and wait for the one that matters
The public shape now works end to end: real ports, Caddy in front, and both programs that need certificates getting them from the same CA -- Caddy for the front ends over TLS-ALPN-01, the mail server for its own names over HTTP-01, which Caddy forwards on port 80. Proved in the lab against Pebble, with a DNS stub answering every name with the machine's own address, so no public name or public CA is involved: twenty checks, ending with IMAPS and submissions presenting a certificate for the mail host that verifies against the CA, and the webmail sending sign-in to the server as the first-party client the server registered. Two things the test found, both of which would have shipped: - The proxy fronted four of the server's five names. The server puts ua-auto-config in its own certificate too, so its challenge was never forwarded, one name failed, and the whole order failed with it -- leaving the mail ports on a self-signed certificate while everything else looked healthy. The list now matches what the server asks for. - Nothing waited for the certificate. An order that fails is not retried on its own and a restart does not start a new one, so the install declared itself finished over a self-signed certificate. It now waits, asks again every 45 seconds, and reports the issuer -- or says plainly that the server will keep trying once the domain resolves here, which is the ordinary case on a first install. --acme-directory and --acme-ca-root are what let a private CA be used: the root is added to the server image's own bundle and given to Caddy, because neither sees the other's trust store.
