Caddy(8)

πŸ’– Caddy(8) β€” the caddy-untrust page, bestie edition πŸ’–

okay so this is a page from the Caddy(8) manual β€” yes, that Caddy, the iconic web server β€” and this specific page is all about telling your computer to stop trusting a certificate. betrayal era, but make it intentional. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

caddy-untrust β€” Untrusts a locally-trusted CA certificate 🫢


πŸ’… SYNOPSIS πŸ’…

caddy untrust [--cert ] | [[--ca ] [--address ] [--config  [--adapter
]]] [flags]

she's a lil funky with the brackets but we love her anyway πŸ’œ


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So basically: this untrusts a root certificate from the local trust store(s). periodt. πŸ”₯

This command uninstalls trust; it does not necessarily delete the root certificate from trust stores entirely. Which means β€” and hear me out bestie β€” repeatedly trusting and untrusting new certificates can fill up trust databases. like, you're gonna clutter the place up. no cap. 😭

Also very important: this command does not delete or modify certificate files from Caddy's configured storage. it's just doing trust-store things, she's not touching your files. πŸ™ˆ

You can use this command one of two ways:

  1. Specify which certificate to untrust by giving a direct path to the certificate file with the --cert flag πŸ“
  2. Or fetch the root certificate for the CA from the admin API β€” that's the default behaviour, the main character move πŸ‘‘

If the admin API route is what you're doing, then the CA defaults to 'local'. You may specify the ID of another CA with the --ca flag. By default, this will attempt to connect to Caddy's admin API running at 'localhost:2019' to fetch the root certificate. You may explicitly specify the --address, or use the --config flag to load the admin address from your config β€” only if you're not using the default, iykyk. ✨
