Add/remove plugins on caddy upgrade?

[excid3]

I'm managing a bunch of servers and they're running Caddy v2. The upgrade command works great for upgrading with the packages previously chosen. In the future, it's likely I'll want to add/remove packages from that list over time.

Would it make sense to add flags to add and remove packages from the caddy build on upgrade?

caddy upgrade --add-package github.com/caddy-dns/cloudflare
caddy upgrade --remove-package github.com/caddy-dns/cloudflare

Yeah, this is something I had also thought about: #3972 (comment)

I suppose we could extend this to add and remove plugins too:
--add <package> / --remove <package>

Or maybe that should be a separate subcommand:
caddy add-package <package> / caddy remove-package <package>

Or even just:
caddy add <package> / caddy remove <package>

Not a high priority for me to work on personally, but pull requests would certainly be welcomed.

Hi @mholt, I'm interested in taking this up

@calebikhuohon go for it!

[mholt]

Yeah, that'd be great. I'm still not sure which CLI approach is the best -- so just be aware I might change my mind in reviews.

@calebikhuohon are you working on it?) I also want to try this out

Guys, I am totally new in that project, but I tried to add some adding-package, if you tell me that it's absolute wrong I will remove it as quick as possible😄
