+# `atuin server`
+
+Atuin allows you to run your own sync server, in case you don't want to use the
+one I host :)
+
+There's currently only one subcommand, `atuin server start` which will start the
+Atuin http sync server
+
+```
+USAGE:
+    atuin server start [OPTIONS]
+
+FLAGS:
+        --help       Prints help information
+    -V, --version    Prints version information
+
+OPTIONS:
+    -h, --host <host>
+    -p, --port <port>
+```
+
+The config for the server is kept separate from the config for the client, even
+though they are the same binary. Server config can be found at
+`~/.config/atuin/server.toml`.
+
+It looks something like this:
+
+```
+host = "0.0.0.0"
+port = 8888
+open_registration = true
+db_uri="postgres://user:password@hostname/database"
+```
+
+`open_registration` sets whether the server allows new user registrations. Set
+this to false after making your own account if you don't want others to be able
+to use your server.
