caddyconfig 0.1.8

Caddy JSON configuration manipulation (Pydantic v2 + fluent builder)

caddyconfig

Caddy JSON configuration manipulation for Python, built on Pydantic v2.

Provides typed models, validation, a fluent builder API, and bidirectional serialization to/from Caddy's native JSON format.

Installation

pip install caddyconfig

Requires Python 3.10+.

Quick Start

Fluent Builder API

from caddyconfig.builder import CaddyConfigBuilder

config = (
    CaddyConfigBuilder()
    .admin(listen="localhost:2019")
    .logging(writer="stderr", level="INFO")
    .server("main", listen=[":443", ":80"])
        .route()
            .match(host=["acme.com"])
            .handle_static(200, body="Welcome")
        .done()
        .route()
            .match(path=["/api"])
            .handle_reverse_proxy("10.0.0.1:8080")
        .done()
    .done()
    .build()
)

print(config.to_json(indent=2))

Direct Model API

from caddyconfig import (
    CaddyConfig, Admin, Logging, LogSink, LogEntry,
    Apps, HttpApp, Server, Route, MatchCriteria,
    StaticResponseHandler, ReverseProxyHandler,
)

config = CaddyConfig(
    admin=Admin(listen="localhost:2019"),
    logging=Logging(
        sink=LogSink(writer="stderr"),
        logs={"default": LogEntry(name="default", level="INFO")},
    ),
    apps=Apps(
        http=HttpApp(
            servers={
                "main": Server(
                    name="main",
                    listen=[":443", ":80"],
                    routes=[
                        Route(
                            match=[MatchCriteria(host=["acme.com"])],
                            handle=[StaticResponseHandler(status_code=200, body="Welcome")],
                        ),
                        Route(
                            match=[MatchCriteria(path=["/api"])],
                            handle=[ReverseProxyHandler(upstreams=["10.0.0.1:8080"])],
                        ),
                    ],
                )
            }
        ),
    )
)

JSON Roundtrip

json_str = config.to_json()
config2 = CaddyConfig.from_json(json_str)
assert config2.to_dict() == config.to_dict()

Route Lookup and Mutation

server = config.apps.http.get_server("main")

# Find a route by matcher criteria (partial match supported)
route = server.find_route(MatchCriteria(path=["/api"]))

# Upsert: replace if exists, insert otherwise
server.upsert_route(MatchCriteria(path=["/api"]), new_route)

# Remove a route
server.remove_route(MatchCriteria(path=["/api"]))

# Search recursively through subroutes
route = server.find_route(MatchCriteria(path=["/api"]), recursive=True)

reverse_proxy	ReverseProxyHandler	.handle_reverse_proxy("host:port")
