systemctl reload caddy.service fails with log output dial fd: unknown network fd when using socket activation #6631

Open

Description

I built git commit a211c65 (master branch as of today)

  1. Install caddy executable to /usr/local/bin/caddy
  2. Run command
    sudo groupadd --system caddy
    
  3. Run command
    sudo useradd --system \
       --gid caddy \
       --create-home \
       --home-dir /var/lib/caddy \
       --shell /usr/sbin/nologin \
       --comment "Caddy web server" \
       caddy`
    
  4. Create file /etc/caddy/Caddyfile containing
    {
    	auto_https disable_redirects
    	admin fd/4
    }
    
    http://test.example.com {
    	bind fd/3 {
    		protocols h1
    	}
    	log
    	respond "hello world
    "
    }
    
  5. Create file /etc/systemd/system/caddy.service containing
    [Unit]
    Description=Caddy
    Documentation=https://caddyserver.com/docs/
    After=network.target network-online.target
    Requires=network-online.target
    
    [Service]
    Type=notify
    User=caddy
    Group=caddy
    ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/caddy run --environ --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
    ExecReload=/usr/local/bin/caddy reload --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile --force
    TimeoutStopSec=5s
    LimitNOFILE=1048576
    PrivateTmp=true
    ProtectSystem=full
    AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_ADMIN CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE
    
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
    
    It's the same content as
    https://github.com/caddyserver/dist/blob/34f51d87d16c3da70156edffdf7c52a6916f48e6/init/caddy.service#L16-L35
    but /usr/bin/caddy replaced with /usr/local/bin/caddy
  6. Create file /etc/systemd/system/caddy.socket
    [Socket]
    ListenStream=0.0.0.0:8077
    ListenStream=%t/caddy.sock
    [Install]
    WantedBy=sockets.target
    
  7. Run command
    sudo systemctl daemon-reload
    
  8. Run command
    sudo systemctl start caddy.socket`
    
  9. Run command
    curl --resolve test.example.com:8077:127.0.0.1 http://test.example.com:8077
    
    The following output is printed
    hello world
    
  10. Run command
    sudo systemctl reload caddy.service
    
    The following output is printed
    Job for caddy.service failed.
    See "systemctl status caddy.service" and "journalctl -xeu caddy.service" for details.
    
  11. Run command
     sudo journalctl -xeu caddy.service --no-pager | tail -79
    
    The following output is printed

Describe the results you received

The command in Step 10 failed (sudo systemctl reload caddy.service)

In the log output there is the error message

 Error: sending configuration to instance: performing request: Post "http://127.0.0.1/load": dial fd: unknown network fd

Describe the results you expected

I would have expected the command in Step 10 to succeed.

Additional information

I tried the same reproducer but with /etc/systemd/system/caddy.socket
having the following content

[Socket]
ListenStream=0.0.0.0:8077
ListenStream=%t/caddy.sock
SocketUser=caddy
SocketGroup=caddy
[Install]
WantedBy=sockets.target

The error was the same.
