Subject: [PATCH] Allow the appsettings.json to be defined via env variable
 CONFIG_DIR

This makes the usage via docker/kubernetes much easier since we can split the code and the data making the last one persisted in a volume.

Example:
`CONFIG_DIR="/app/data"`
- All code is inside `/app`
- database and config is inside `/app/data`
- a new volume is mounted for `/app/data`

Thanks!
