Caddy(8) Caddy(8)

NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

caddy start [--config [--adapter ]] [--envfile ] [--watch] [--pidfile ] [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

-a, --adapter="" Name of config adapter to apply

-c, --config="" Configuration file

--envfile=[] Environment file(s) to load

-h, --help[=false] help for start

--pidfile="" Path of file to which to write process ID

-w, --watch[=false] Reload changed config file automatically
