caddy: Start Caddy with the specified Caddyfile.
$ caddy run --config ${path-to-Caddyfile}
try on your machine

The command "caddy run --config ${path-to-Caddyfile}" is used to start the Caddy web server with a specific configuration file.

Here's a breakdown of each part of the command:

  • "caddy" refers to the Caddy executable or command.
  • "run" is a subcommand of Caddy that is used to start the server.
  • "--config" is a flag that specifies the path to the configuration file.
  • "${path-to-Caddyfile}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual file path of the Caddyfile.

When you run this command, Caddy will read the specified Caddyfile and use it to configure the server. The Caddyfile contains instructions on how the server should behave and what websites or services it should serve.

Make sure to replace "${path-to-Caddyfile}" with the actual file path, for example, "/path/to/Caddyfile".

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
