[tam481]

Please add the ability to load configurations from a conf file in whatever format suits you i.e. json, xml or yaml etc.

Hi @tam481 ,

Can I challenge the requirement? Can you explain why you need this?

Currently all config properties come from Env vars, which complies with the 12-factor app recommendations.

Because wud is deployed as a container, the configuration can already be stored in config files no matter the tools you use to deploy it:

• Docker env files
• Docker Compose files
• Portainer env files
• Kubernetes ConfigMaps
• ...
