Charger control needs TLS, and the stack speaks plain HTTP, so the README
said "terminate TLS in a reverse proxy" and left the operator to work out
which four settings have to agree. This adds the proxy: a Caddy overlay
that fronts the Web App BFF — which already carries /api/ and /ocpp/ — so
browsers and chargers arrive at the same name and the certificate is issued
on first boot.
The four settings are derived from DV_DOMAIN, since one value getting typed
right is better odds than four: OCPP_PUBLIC_URL, OCPP_REQUIRE_TLS back on,
CORS, and TRUST_FORWARDED_PROTO on the Web App. That last one is the
non-obvious one — without it the BFF overwrites Caddy's X-Forwarded-Proto
with its own plaintext hop and the API Server rejects the charger it just
told to connect over wss.
The README's OCPP section was stale besides: it still sent chargers to the
API Server port alone, from before the BFF carried that path.
