# Caddy Module Registration Checklist
This document outlines the requirements and steps for successfully registering the caddy-waf module in the official Caddy modules directory.
## ✅ Completed Requirements
### 1. Module Structure Compliance
- [x] **Module Interface Implementation**: Properly implements `caddy.Module` interface
- [x] **Module ID**: Correctly uses `http.handlers.waf` as module ID
- [x] **Registration**: Module is registered in `init()` function using `caddy.RegisterModule()`
- [x] **Interface Guards**: Proper interface guards implemented for compile-time checking
- [x] **Caddyfile Support**: Implements `caddyfile.Unmarshaler` for Caddyfile parsing
### 2. Required Interfaces
- [x] **caddy.Module**: Implemented via `CaddyModule()` method
- [x] **caddy.Provisioner**: Implemented via `Provision()` method
- [x] **caddy.Validator**: Implemented via `Validate()` method
- [x] **caddyhttp.MiddlewareHandler**: Implemented via `ServeHTTP()` method
- [x] **caddyfile.Unmarshaler**: Implemented via `UnmarshalCaddyfile()` method
### 3. Documentation Requirements
- [x] **Package Documentation**: Added comprehensive package-level documentation
- [x] **Struct Documentation**: Added detailed documentation for main Middleware struct
- [x] **README.md**: Comprehensive README with examples and installation instructions
- [x] **Module Metadata**: Created `MODULE.md` with standardized module information
- [x] **Usage Examples**: Created `caddyfile.example` with practical configuration examples
- [x] **API Documentation**: Generated via `go doc` commands
### 4. Code Quality and Standards
- [x] **Go Module Structure**: Proper `go.mod` with correct module path
- [x] **Version Consistency**: Updated version constant to match latest release (v0.0.6)
- [x] **Build Verification**: Module builds successfully with `go build`
- [x] **Module Verification**: Passes `go mod verify`
- [x] **No Build Errors**: Clean compilation with no warnings or errors
### 5. Release Management
- [x] **Git Tags**: Proper semantic versioning tags (v0.0.3, v0.0.4, v0.0.5, v0.0.6)
- [x] **GitHub Releases**: Automated release workflow creating GitHub releases
- [x] **Release Notes**: Proper release descriptions and changelogs
- [x] **Binary Assets**: Cross-platform binaries generated for releases
### 6. Testing and Validation
- [x] **Test Suite**: Comprehensive test coverage across multiple files
- [x] **CI/CD Pipeline**: GitHub Actions workflows for testing and building
- [x] **Module Import**: Can be imported and used with `xcaddy build`
## 🔍 Potential Issues and Solutions
### Issue Analysis: Registration Error ID `2b782e50-057d-4dac-bbd5-4cd1c1188669`
Based on the error ID mentioned in the issue comments, this appears to be a server-side error during the registration process rather than a module compliance issue. Common causes and solutions:
### 1. **Server-Side Registration Issues**
- **Cause**: Temporary issues with the Caddy module registration service
- **Solution**: Retry registration after some time
- **Status**: May resolve automatically
### 2. **Module Path Validation**
- **Cause**: Registration service may have strict validation rules
- **Solution**: Ensure `github.com/fabriziosalmi/caddy-waf` is accessible and properly formatted
- **Status**: ✅ Module path is valid and accessible
### 3. **Go Module Accessibility**
- **Cause**: Registration service needs to fetch and validate the module
- **Solution**: Ensure module is publicly accessible and properly tagged
- **Status**: ✅ Repository is public with proper tags
### 4. **Caddy Version Compatibility**
- **Cause**: Module might require specific Caddy version
- **Solution**: Verify compatibility with latest Caddy version
- **Status**: ✅ Uses Caddy v2.9.1 (latest)
## 🚀 Next Steps for Registration
### 1. **Retry Registration**
- Visit https://caddyserver.com/account/register-package
- Use the exact module path: `github.com/fabriziosalmi/caddy-waf`
- Ensure using the latest tag: `v0.0.6`
### 2. **Contact Caddy Team**
- If registration continues to fail, contact Caddy maintainers
- Provide the error ID: `2b782e50-057d-4dac-bbd5-4cd1c1188669`
- Reference this module's compliance with all requirements
### 3. **Alternative Registration Paths**
- Consider submitting a PR to the Caddy Community repository
- Engage with the Caddy community on forums or Discord
- Document the module in community wikis or resources
## 📋 Final Verification Commands
Run these commands to verify module readiness:
```bash
# Verify module builds successfully
go build -v
# Verify module interfaces
go doc -short
# Test module import
go list -m github.com/fabriziosalmi/caddy-waf
# Verify with xcaddy (if available)
xcaddy build --with github.com/fabriziosalmi/caddy-waf
# Check latest version/tag
git describe --tags --abbrev=0
```
