## Arguments
| Argument | Description | Default | Env. name |
Arguments passed to the process or set via environment variables are split into two kinds.
- Settings or runtime flags used to toggle specific runmodes or disable parts of the application. These act as toggle when added or removed.
- Configuration parameters to set various limits and configure the application. These require a parameter to be passed to function, if removed the default parameters are used.
### Settings / Flags

| --debug | Enable debug environment | `Disabled` | LT_DEBUG |
| --ssl | Whether to enable SSL | `Disabled` | LT_SSL |
| --api-keys | Enable API keys database for per-client rate limits when --req-limit is reached | `Don't use API keys` | LT_API_KEYS |
| --require-api-key-origin | Require use of an API key for programmatic access to the API, unless the request origin matches this domain | `No restrictions on domain origin` | LT_REQUIRE_API_KEY_ORIGIN |
| --require-api-key-secret | Require use of an API key for programmatic access to the API, unless the client also sends a secret match | `No secrets required` | LT_REQUIRE_API_KEY_SECRET |
| --suggestions | Allow user suggestions | `Disabled` | LT_SUGGESTIONS |
| --disable-files-translation | Disable files translation | `File translation allowed` | LT_DISABLE_FILES_TRANSLATION |
| --disable-web-ui | Disable web ui | `Web Ui enabled` | LT_DISABLE_WEB_UI |

Note that each argument has an equivalent environment variable that can be used instead. The env. variables overwrite the default values but have lower priority than the command arguments and are particularly useful if used with Docker. The environment variable names are the upper-snake-case of the equivalent command argument's name with a `LT` prefix.
### Notes:
- Each argument has an equivalent environment variable that can be used instead. The env. variables overwrite the default values but have lower priority than the command arguments and are particularly useful if used with Docker. The environment variable names are the upper-snake-case of the equivalent command argument's name with a `LT` prefix.
- To configure requirement for api key to use, set `--req-limit` to `0` and add the `--api-keys` flag. Requests made without a proper api key will be rejected.
- Setting `--update-models` will update models regardless of whether updates are available or not.
