What are all the cli options?

[frank8922]

The main readme says to check to the docs branch for documentation however all I see is guides for running this on . I was meerly trying to run this locally and was struggling to find the cli options for running the standalone server, the only ones I managed to find was if I was running it in a docker container. Where would I find all of the cli options for natively running it? They don't seem to be listed anywhere.
