"frankenphp php-server" vs "frankenphp run" when to use what?

Hey,

just had a little play with FrankenPHP locally (self compiled).

So my App is working using the following command and caddyfile:

./frankenphp-mac-arm64 run -c franken-caddy/Caddyfile

Caddyfile example

Then i discovered the php-server subcommand, where my app is not working because it needs a custom Caddy file:

./frankenphp-mac-arm64 php-server -r ./ -l 127.0.0.1:8788 --debug

What is the difference between using run and php-server, and what is the recommended way of running FrankenPHP?

php-server is a helper command that starts FrankenPHP without requiring to write a Caddyfile. It is ok for very standard PHP apps. It doesn't read the Caddyfile at all.

If you need (or want) a custom Caddyfile, you must use run instead.
