Use of this command is discouraged with system services or on Windows. On Windows, the child process will remain attached to the terminal, so closing the window will forcefully stop Caddy, which is not obvious. Consider running Caddy [as a service](/docs/running) instead.
Once started, you can use [`caddy stop`](#caddy-stop) or [the /stop API endpoint](/docs/api#post-stop) to exit the background process.

Install Caddy as a service on Windows with these instructions.
**Requirements:**
- `caddy.exe` binary that you [downloaded](/download) or [built from source](/docs/build)
- Any exe from the latest release of the
[WinSW](https://github.com/winsw/winsw/releases/latest) service wrapper (Stay
on a v2.x release for now)
Put all files into a service directory. In the following examples, we use `c:\caddy`.
Rename the WinSW exe file to `caddy-service.exe`.
Add a `caddy-service.xml` in the directory:
<pre><code class="cmd">&lt;service>
&lt;id>caddy&lt;/id>
&lt;!-- Display name of the service -->
&lt;name>Caddy Web Server (powered by WinSW)&lt;/name>
&lt;!-- Service description -->
&lt;description>Caddy Web Server (https://caddyserver.com/)&lt;/description>

&lt;arguments>run&lt;/arguments>
&lt;log mode="roll-by-time">
&lt;pattern>yyyy-MM-dd&lt;/pattern>
&lt;/log>
&lt;/service>
</code></pre>
You can now install the service using:
<pre><code class="cmd">caddy-service install</code></pre>
You might want to start the Windows Services Console to see if the service is runnnig correctly:
<pre><code class="cmd">services.msc</code></pre>
Be aware that Windows services cannot be reloaded, so you have to tell caddy directly to relaod:
<pre><code class="cmd">caddy reload</code></pre>
Restarting is possible via the normal Windows services commands.
For customizing the service wrapper, see the [WinSW documentation](https://github.com/winsw/winsw/tree/master#usage)

Linux Service
=============
# Keep Caddy Running
The recommended way to run Caddy on Linux distributions with systemd is with our official systemd unit files.
While Caddy can be run successfully by directly using its [Command Line Interface](/docs/command-line), there are numerous advantages to using a service manager to keep it running, such as ensuring it starts back up when the system boots, and to capture stdout/stderr logging.

## Docker Compose
The simplest way to get up and running with Docker is to use Docker Compose. _The below is only an excerpt, see the docs on [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/_/caddy) for more details_.
First, create a file `docker-compose.yml` (or add this service to your existing file):
```yaml
version: "3.7"
services:
caddy:
image: caddy:<version>
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- "80:80"
- "443:443"
volumes:
- $PWD/Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile
- $PWD/site:/srv
- caddy_data:/data
- caddy_config:/config
volumes:
caddy_data:
caddy_config:
```
Make sure to fill in `<version>` with the latest version number, which you can find listed on [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/_/caddy) under the "Tags" section.
Then, you can start the container:
<pre><code class="cmd bash">docker-compose up -d</code></pre>
To reload Caddy after making changes to your Caddyfile:
<pre><code class="cmd bash">docker-compose exec -w /etc/caddy caddy caddy reload</code></pre>
To see Caddy's logs:
<pre><code class="cmd bash">docker-compose logs caddy</code></pre>
