Solution

I’m still not really sure exactly what the root cause of the issue was (I would appreciate it if someone could explain it to me), but I disabled HTTPS on the Nextcloud server

nextcloud.disable-https

and, all of a sudden, it started working. My Caddyfile simply contains the following:

nextcloud.domain.com {
    server-LAN-ip:80
}

Original Post

I am trying to upgrade my existing Nextcloud server (installed as a Snap) so that it is sitting behind a reverse proxy. Originally, The Nextcloud server handled HTTPS with Let’s Encrypt at domain.com; now, I would like for Caddy to handle HTTPS with Let’s Encrypt at nextcloud.domain.com and to forward the traffic to the Nextcloud server.

With my current setup, I am encountering an error where it is saying 301 Moved Permanently. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix or troubleshoot this?

Caddyfile:

https://nextcloud.domain.com {
        reverse_proxy 192.168.1.182:443
        header / Strict-Transport-Security max-age=31536000;
}

And here is the output of curl -v https://nextcloud.domain.com/:
