| `--detach` | Go to background (decouple from the terminal). This is useful for long-running / server scenarios. Typically, you will also want to manage `monerod` daemon with systemd or similar. By default `monerod` runs in a foreground.
| `--non-interactive` | Do not require tty in a foreground mode. Helpful when running in a container. By default `monerod` runs in a foreground and opens stdin for reading. This breaks containerization because no tty getss assigned and `monerod` process crashes. You can make it run in a background with `--detach` but this is inconvenient in a containerized environment because the canonical usage is that the container waits on the main process to exist (forking makes things more complicated).
| `--no-igd` | Disable UPnP port mapping. Add this option to improve security if you are **not** behind a NAT (you can bind directly to public IP or you run through Tor).
| `--max-txpool-size arg` | Set maximum transactions pool size in bytes. By default 648000000 (~618MB). These are transactions pending for confirmations (not included in any block).
#### P2P network
(WORK IN PROGRESS)
The following options define how your node participates in Monero peer-to-peer network.
This is for node-to-node communication. It does **not** affect wallet-to-node interface.

| `--add-peer` | Manually add node to local peer list.
| `--add-priority-node` | Specify list of nodes to connect to and then attempt to keep the connection open. <br /><br />To add multiple nodes use the option several times. Example: <br />`./monerod --add-priority-node=178.128.192.138:18081 --add-priority-node=144.76.202.167:18081`
| `--add-exclusive-node` | Specify list of nodes to connect to only. If this option is given the options `--add-priority-node` and `--seed-node` are ignored. <br /><br />To add multiple nodes use the option several times. Example: <br />`./monerod --add-exclusive-node=178.128.192.138:18081 --add-exclusive-node=144.76.202.167:18081`
| `--offline` | Do not listen for peers, nor connect to any. Useful for working with a stable local blockchain.
| `--allow-local-ip` | Allow local ip add to peer list, mostly in debug purposes. TODO: verify
| `--out-peers arg` (=-1)| Set max number of outgoing connections to other peers. TODO: verify
| `--in-peers arg` (=-1) | Set max number of incoming connections (peers actively connecting). TODO: verify
#### Help and Version
| Option | Description
|---------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| `--help` | Enlists available options.
| `--version` | Shows `monerod` version to stdout. Example: <br />`Monero 'Lithium Luna' (v0.12.3.0-release)`
| `--os-version` | Shows build timestamp and target operating system. Example output:<br />`OS: Linux #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Aug 24 12:48:58 UTC 2018 4.18.5-arch1-1-ARCH`.
| `--out-peers` | Set max number of outgoing connections to other nodes. By default 8. Value `-1` represents the code default.
| `--in-peers` | Set max number of incoming connections (nodes actively connecting to you). By default unlimited. Value `-1` represents the code default.
| `--limit-rate-up` | Set outgoing data transfer limit [kB/s]. By default 2048 kB/s. Value `-1` represents the code default.
| `--limit-rate-down` | Set incoming data transfer limit [kB/s]. By default 8192 kB/s. Value `-1` represents the code default.
| `--limit-rate` | Set the same limit value for incoming and outgoing data transfer. By default (`-1`) the individual up/down default limits will be used. It is better to use `--limit-rate-up` and `--limit-rate-down` instead to avoid confusion.
| `--offline` | Do not listen for peers, nor connect to any. Useful for working with a local, archival blockchain.
| `--allow-local-ip` | Allow adding local IP to peer list. Useful mostly for debug purposes when you may want to have multiple nodes on a single machine.
