• --ssl-cert: SSL certificate location. For example, "/path/to/fullchain.pem".
• --ssl-key: SSL private key location. For example, "/path/to/privkey.pem".
• --debug: Enable debug mode. Intended for development.
• --no-ws: Disable built-in WebSocket support.
• --log-level: Defaults to "DEBUG". For available log levels, see Python Logging Levels.
• --download-rate: Limits the sending speed to the client. Defaults to 1048576, which means 1 MiB/s.
• --upload-rate: Limits the upload / POST speed. Defaults to 1048576, which means 1 MiB/s.
• --buffer-size: Defaults to 16384, or 16 KiB.
• --client-max-body-size: Defaults to 2 * 1048576, or 2 MiB.
• --request-timeout: Defaults to 30 seconds.
• --keepalive-timeout: Defaults to 30 seconds.
• --keepalive-connections: Maximum number of keep-alive connections per worker. Defaults to 512 connections per worker.
• --root-path: Set the ASGI root_path. Defaults to an empty string.

For example, you can run Netix with these options:

python3 -m netix --debug --port 8080 example:app
python3 -m netix --daemon example:app
