How to customize the root web directory?

[tonnyorg]

I need to change the /app directory, to be somewhere else; is it possible?

I've read that it needs to be overriden via the Caddy vars, in fact I found the directive https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/directives/root but I'm not sure how to override it in frankenphp

If you need to change the application root, I'd probably recommend using your own Caddyfile. This is the default Caddy file used in the Docker image, it's located at /etc/caddy/Caddyfile in the Docker image.

You can either overwrite the file or change the entrypoint of the container to something like:

frankenphp -c /path/to/Caddyfile

Then you can change the root directly and tailor the configuration to however you need it for your application.

@AlliBalliBaba interesting, kk sounds good tyvm

It would be nice in the future you can just change it via an ARG or ENV variable instead, but honestly I've never played with Caddy so idk what it takes.

Thank you again!

Yeah the nice thing about open source is you can just create a PR to make this configurable via ENV variables in the default Caddyfile 🙂
