```

- `--name`, `-n`: The name of your instance. It will be displayed on the homepage.
- `--default-license`, `-l`: the license to use for articles written on this instance, if no other license is explicitely specified. Optional, defaults to CC-0.
- `--private`, `-p`: if this argument is present, registering on this instance won't be possible. Optional, off by default.
**Environment variables:**
