caddy: Run a simple file server on the specified port with a browsable interface.

caddy

$ caddy file-server --listen :${8000} --browse

try on your machine

This command is using the Caddy server to start a file server and browse the files.

Here's what each part of the command does:

caddy: It is the executable file for the Caddy server.
file-server: It is a directive or plugin in Caddy that enables the file server functionality.
--listen :${8000}: This flag tells Caddy to listen on the specified address and port. In this case, it is set to port 8000 (:${8000} is a way to pass the value of the environment variable 8000).
--browse: This flag allows directory browsing. It means that if someone visits the URL, they will be able to see and navigate the folders and files within the served directory.

In summary, this command starts a file server using Caddy, listens on port 8000, and enables directory browsing.
