Where is file manager with hugo support like the first Caddy Server

[Whitestrake (Matthew Fay)]

Hi @rizko,

File Manager has been gone from Caddy for some time - removed during the later stages of v1’s development. It’s no longer a part of either version of Caddy:

File Browser says goodbye to Caddy (for now)

Hello everyone! As most of you know, File Browser - well… File Manager at the time - was born as a single extension for Caddy web server. Although, it’s time to tell goodbye to this lovely extension. There’s a lot of backlog and thoughts about deprecating this extension for a long time already (#574).

In v1, you used to be able to have Caddy run processes in the foreground or background on certain events (like Caddy starting up or reloading), so you could still run hugo or jekyll as well as File Manager automatically and then proxy to File Manager in the background.

No timeline on that one, though, as far as I’m aware.
