Steps To Reproduce

I am using vaultwarden with docker compose with the following settings

root@ghost:~/vaultwarden# cat compose.yaml
services:
  vaultwarden:
    image: vaultwarden/server:latest
    container_name: vaultwarden
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      SIGNUPS_ALLOWED: false
      ADMIN_TOKEN: <REDACTED>
      ROCKET_PROXY: 1
      ROCKET_WORKERS: 1
    volumes:
      - ./vw-data/:/data/
    ports:
      - 127.0.0.1:8009:80

Then in another container I am running Caddy with the following

(logs) {
    log {
        output stderr
        format console
        level INFO
    }
}


# Limited to localhost only so it only works for people who did ssh tunnel
(limited-local) {
    @not_allowed not client_ip 127.0.0.1
    respond @not_allowed 403
    import logs
}


http://vault.something {
    reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:8009 {
        header_up Host {remote_host}
        header_up X-Forwarded-For {remote_host}
        header_up X-Forwarded-Proto {scheme}
    }
}


http://gitea.something {
    reverse_proxy http://127.0.0.1:3000
    import limited-local
}

and with the following docker compose

services:
  caddy:
    image: caddy:2.11
    restart: unless-stopped
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
    network_mode: "host"
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    volumes:
      - $PWD/conf:/etc/caddy
      - $PWD/site:/srv
      - caddy_data:/data
      - caddy_config:/config

volumes:
  caddy_data:
  caddy_config:

I can see that going to http://vault.something it hangs, but going to http://vault.something/admin it works just fine.

Also Caddy should be correct because I can easily use the gitea block

Expected Result

It was expected to navigate to http://vault.something and that show the login form

Actual Result

Going to http://vault.something hangs and no login is shown
