 BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
 ------------------
-None.
+serve-static
+    Setup uWSGI to serve the static content, too. This is generally not
+    recommended for real production setups, as it is the job of the reverse
+    proxy server, who will thread it as static cachable content. This option
+    is only recommended for small setups or direct usage of the uWSGI socket
+    like using it as standalone HTTP server for NetBox.
