@llooper-dev you don’t have to worry about these flags. For normal use cases, the default values of these flags are enough. Like whitelist makes sense for clients who want to control from which IPs, admin operations can originate or ludicrous mode is for clients who don’t want transactional guarantees.
You can package master and ignore these flags. If you are having trouble package master, dgraph/master image with the latest master commit is also available.
Just an additional note, many flags representation have been changed in master. You won’t find the updated documentation in our docs. So you might need to refer the new format via dgraph alpha --help command. We will soon be documenting these.
