Description

As I user I would like to be able to automate the deployment of a new Nifi instance (e.g. using Docker, Ansible), and have that instance load a specific versioned flow from the nifi-registry and start running it automatically.

To enable this I would like to be able to specify the nifi-registry URL in nifi properties file, and the flow to load/start via either the properties file or a command line option.

This will greatly increase the ease of deploying nifi in automated environments such as Kubernetes.
