caddy-reload8

Changes the config of the running caddy instance

Usage

caddy reload [flags]

Overview

Gives the running Caddy instance a new configuration. This has the same effect as POSTing a document to the /load API endpoint, but is convenient for simple workflows revolving around config files.

Since the admin endpoint is configurable, the endpoint configuration is loaded from the --address flag if specified; otherwise it is loaded from the given config file; otherwise the default is assumed.

Options

--adapter=""
Name of config adapter to apply

--address=""
Address of the administration listener, if different from config

--config=""
Configuration file (required)

--force[=false]
Force config reload, even if it is the same

-h, --help[=false]
help for reload
