Death to environment variables

  • I've made a decision. No more configuring server apps using environment variables.
  • Of course nodeStorage, Fargo Publisher, etc will all continue to support environment variables, but they will also be configurable through a config.json file in the same folder as the app.
  • Anything that could have been specified in environment variables can be spec'd in JSON, with a lot more confidence in how things work.
