Improvements to the Application

[MrFlynn]

This is a list of future improvements that can be made to this codebase. These are low priority changes and can be made sometime in the future.

• [x] Modify existing boilerplate code to use configuration container classes. This includes migrating class init functions to pull configuration data from object and not from passed in data.
• [x] Clean up unused code (especially code that has been commented out for debugging purposes).
• [x] Remove deprecated MAINTAINER from Dockerfile. Replace with LABEL for future compatibility purposes.
• [x] Add hashbang to shell scripts to match script best practices.
• [ ] Come up with logo for application instead of the generic on Slack provides when it posts updates to Slack.

I don't think the last item on this list is very important, so I'm closing this issue.
