xcaddy: Build Caddy and output to a specific file.
$ xcaddy build --output ${filename}
try on your machine

This command is using the xcaddy tool to build a custom Caddy web server binary with additional functionalities or plugins.

Here's a breakdown of each element in the command:

  • xcaddy: It is the command-line tool used for building custom Caddy servers.
  • build: This is a subcommand that instructs xcaddy to start the build process.
  • --output ${filename}: This flag specifies the output path and filename for the generated binary file. ${filename} represents a placeholder for the actual desired filename; it should be replaced with the desired filename. For example, --output mycustomcaddy will output the binary with the name "mycustomcaddy".

In summary, running this command will invoke xcaddy to build a custom Caddy server binary, and the --output flag will determine the name and location of the output file.
