.SH NAME
.PP
caddy-start - Starts the Caddy process in the background and then returns


.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
\fBcaddy start [flags]\fP


.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Starts the Caddy process, optionally bootstrapped with an initial config file.
This command unblocks after the server starts running or fails to run.

.PP
If --envfile is specified, an environment file with environment variables in
the KEY=VALUE format will be loaded into the Caddy process.

.PP
On Windows, the spawned child process will remain attached to the terminal, so
closing the window will forcefully stop Caddy; to avoid forgetting this, try
using 'caddy run' instead to keep it in the foreground.
