Reload fails: "tsnet: listener already open for tailscale, :80"

[iliana]

The usual systemd unit for caddy includes an ExecReload= option:

ExecReload=/usr/bin/caddy reload --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile --force

When this is run on a caddy service that already connected to Tailscale, we get this error: loading config: loading new config: http app module: start: listening on tailscale/nitter:80: tsnet: listener already open for tailscale, :80

Restarting the service works fine, as expected.

Full Caddyfile (most of this is boilerplate from my usual template):

{
        admin localhost:2019
        email iliana@buttslol.net
}

(global) {
        encode zstd gzip
        handle_errors {
                respond "{http.error.status_code} {http.error.status_text}"
        }
        header cache-control "public, max-age=0, must-revalidate"
        log {
                output file /var/log/caddy/access.log
        }
}

:80 {
        bind tailscale/nitter
        respond / "butts"
}

I suspect this will interfere with plugins like https://github.com/lucaslorentz/caddy-docker-proxy which dynamically generate config.
