@jespino, are automatic env variables implemented in config.go, based on AutomaticEnv()? If so, we may just need to document them better.

Exactly, but it only affects the config for personal server and desktop apps, not for plugin mode. In plugin mode all the config comes from Mattermost itself.

Is this something that can be updated? I really like the idea of using Focalboard. I ended up getting a copy deployed in our stack successfully but statelessness in a container is really nice.
