NAME

caddy-start - Starts the Caddy process in the background and then returns

SYNOPSIS

caddy start [flags]

DESCRIPTION

Starts the Caddy process, optionally bootstrapped with an initial config file. This command unblocks after the server starts running or fails to run.

If --envfile is specified, an environment file with environment variables in the KEY=VALUE format will be loaded into the Caddy process.

On Windows, the spawned child process will remain attached to the terminal, so closing the window will forcefully stop Caddy; to avoid forgetting this, try using ’caddy run’ instead to keep it in the foreground.

OPTIONS

		--adapter =""	Name of config adapter to apply
		--config =""	Configuration file
		--envfile =""	Environment file to load
		-h , --help [=false]	help for start
		--pidfile =""	Path of file to which to write process ID
		--watch [=false]	Reload changed config file automatically
