xcaddy: Build Caddy server with a specific version (defaults to latest).
$ xcaddy build ${version}
try on your machine

The command "xcaddy build ${version}" is generally used to build the Caddy server with a specific version.

Here's a breakdown of the components of the command:

  • "xcaddy": It is a command-line tool used to build custom versions of the Caddy web server. It allows you to include external plugins and customize the functionality of Caddy according to your requirements.

  • "build": This is a subcommand of the "xcaddy" tool that specifies the action to be performed, which is building the Caddy server.

  • "${version}": This is a placeholder representing the specific version of Caddy you want to build. It is expected that you provide the desired version as an argument while executing the command. For example, if you want to build version 2.4.5 of Caddy, you would replace ${version} with 2.4.5 in the command.

Overall, running "xcaddy build ${version}" will trigger the building process for a particular version of Caddy, allowing you to create custom versions with desired functionalities and plugins.
