Cache configuration lost on reload

Tái hiện vấn đề với Caddyfile được hiển thị bằng cách khởi động Caddy, nạp đầy cache Nuts, sau đó chạy caddy reload --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile. Theo dõi quá trình reload của cache handler và khởi tạo storage Nuts, tập trung vào lý do reload chọn storage mặc định. Hoàn thành khi storage /tmp/nuts-configuration đã cấu hình vẫn hoạt động sau reload, không xuất hiện cảnh báo về storage mặc định và các request được cache vẫn báo cáo hit.

Hello,

whenever I reload Caddy, either automatically by using the -w flag of caddy run or by running caddy reload --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile, the cache seems to loose its configuration.

When first starting caddy, everything looks fine:

I can verify that caching works:

Hello nuts

Then after editing a trivial thing, e.g. appending a number to the static response body, and running caddy reload --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile:

{"level":"info","ts":1764181205.652986,"logger":"admin.api","msg":"received request","method":"POST","host":"localhost:2019","uri":"/load","remote_ip":"127.0.0.1","remote_port":"53638","headers":{"Accept-Encoding":["gzip"],"Content-Length":["1513"],"Content-Type":["application/json"],"Origin":["http://localhost:2019"],"User-Agent":["Go-http-client/1.1"]}}

Note the You're running Souin with the default storage that is not optimized and for development purpose. We recommend to use at least one of the storages from https://github.com/darkweak/storages message.

Afterwards the cache is gone, note the uri-miss in the Cache-Status header:

$ curl -i localhost:4443/nuts-configuration
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Hello nuts2

After a complete Caddy restart, the cache will be back!

This is my Caddyfile:

:4443
respond "Hello World!"
route /nuts-configuration {
    cache {
        ttl 1500s
        nuts {
            configuration {
                Dir /tmp/nuts-configuration
                EntryIdxMode 1
                RWMode 0
                SegmentSize 1024
                NodeNum 42
                SyncEnable true
                StartFileLoadingMode 1
            }
        }
    }
    respond "Hello nuts"
}
