xcaddy: Build and run Caddy for a development plugin in the current directory.
$ xcaddy run
try on your machine

The command "xcaddy run" is typically used to run a Caddy server with custom configuration provided by the user.

Caddy is an open-source web server that is designed to be fast, simple, and secure. It is highly extensible and allows for easy customization through its configuration file.

When you run "xcaddy run" command, it uses the "xcaddy" executable, which is a wrapper around Caddy that simplifies its installation and usage. The "xcaddy" utility can be used to build custom Caddy binaries with user-defined features and plugins.

The "run" subcommand tells "xcaddy" to start the Caddy server using the current directory's Caddyfile for configuration. The Caddyfile is a text file where you define how your server should handle incoming requests, specify TLS certificates, configure reverse proxies, rewrite rules, and more.

By running "xcaddy run", Caddy will use your custom configuration to start and serve your web application.
