.SH NAME
.HP
caddy-reload \- Changes the config of the running Caddy instance
.SH SYNOPSIS
.HP
caddy reload --config <path> [--adapter <name>] [--address <interface>]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
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.
