One of the big selling points of Caddy for me is that you can reconfigure it "live" without restarting the server.

This is great for if you want to be able to do zero-downtime deploys of new applications behind a proxy server or similar.



I think nginx does that too; if you send it a hup signal, it will reload the config.


Indeed, many programs interpret a kill -HUP signal as a "re-read config" command.


This is problematic as when you log out your shell, HUP is sent to the web server process unintentionally...

(One reason we don't use signals in Caddy 2. So uncivilized.)


Absolutely! Thanks for the feedback, Simon!
