The command "caddy run" is used to start the Caddy web server.

Caddy is a modern web server that is known for its simplicity and flexibility. It is designed to be easy to use and configure, even for beginners. The "run" command is used to start the Caddy server and make it listen for incoming requests.

When you run the "caddy run" command, Caddy will start up and begin serving the files and websites configured in its configuration file (typically named "Caddyfile"). It will listen on the specified port (usually port 80 for HTTP or port 443 for HTTPS) and handle incoming requests based on the defined configuration.

The server will continue running until you stop it manually, typically by pressing Ctrl+C in the terminal. If there are any errors in the configuration file, Caddy will print out the details and exit.

Overall, the "caddy run" command is the main command to start and run the Caddy web server, making it ready to serve your websites and handle incoming HTTP requests.
