Code Review
This pull request introduces a new --authapikey CLI argument to the environment file generator and updates the .env.sample template accordingly, alongside some code formatting improvements. The review feedback highlights three main areas for improvement: handling None values for the email configuration to prevent writing literal 'None' strings to the .env file, replacing the fragile ast.literal_eval parsing of the https flag with a more robust string-matching approach, and removing an unnecessary f-string prefix from the hostname argument help text.

When --email is not provided (which is the default when running in HTTP mode), args.email defaults to None. This causes _vals_to_replace["email"] to be None.
During the template replacement loop, because "email" is in the list of keys that are converted to strings (line 121), str(None) is called, resulting in ADMIN_EMAIL=None being written to the generated .env file.
Providing a fallback to an empty string "" prevents this and ensures that the email field remains empty in the generated .env file when not specified.

Using ast.literal_eval on a capitalized string representation of the https parameter is fragile and can easily raise a ValueError or SyntaxError if the input is a string that is not a valid Python literal (for example, if a user specifies "yes", "y", or a malformed string in their JSON configuration).
A more robust and idiomatic approach is to check if the string representation of the value (lowercased) is in a set of truthy values. This safely handles both boolean values and various string representations without risk of throwing parsing exceptions.
https_val = _jsfile.get("https", args.https)

The f-string here is unnecessary because there are no placeholders or expressions to evaluate. It is cleaner and more idiomatic to use a regular string literal.
