In order to fully distance oneself from the obligation of using config files, we should allow most/all configuration properties to be defined using environment variables. Useful when using Docker on multiple devices!
Edit: In my haste I had not noticed that environment variables where already read in the following code block. I am therefore downgrading this PR to a simple documentation improvement.
In my case, I am using Resin.io for orchestrating Docker/Balena deployments, which opens the possibility of having a single build deployed to multiple TV sets (well, to their respective RPis). All devices therefore share an identical code base and just rely on fleet-wide and device-specific environment variables. Yay, less micro-management! 😃
