💖 Caddy(8) — the caddy start page, bestie edition 💖

okay so. you opened the man page for Caddy, volume 8, and specifically the caddy start joint. let's get into it, because this one is short but it has ✨lore✨.

✨ NAME ✨

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

like. it starts Caddy. in the background. and then it comes right back to you. no waiting around, no clinginess. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

[flags]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea: this command starts the Caddy process, and you can optionally bootstrap it with an initial config file. that part's optional, no pressure.

The way it works is that this command unblocks after the server starts running or fails to run. so it's not just yeeting the process and ghosting — it waits long enough to know whether things popped off or flopped, and then it hands control back to you. main character energy, honestly. 👑

If --envfile is specified, an environment file with environment variables in the KEY=VALUE format will be loaded into the Caddy process. very much "here's my whole vibe, take it all in" of you. 💅

⚠️ Windows besties, listen up: on Windows, the spawned child process will remain attached to the terminal, so closing the window will forcefully stop Caddy. not a graceful exit, not a lil goodbye — forceful. to avoid forgetting this, try using caddy run instead to keep it in the foreground. fr fr, don't get caught out. 😭

🎀 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

six options, all iconic, all doing their lil job. ⭐
