+The INVENTREE_CUSTOMIZE environment variable must contain a json object with the keys from the table above and
+the wanted values. Example:
+

+INVENTREE_CUSTOMIZE={"login_message":"Hallo Michi","hide_pui_banner":"True"}

 If you want to remove the InvenTree branding as far as possible from your end-user also check the [global server settings](../settings/global.md#server-settings).
